David Record

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promo piece for local rapper built by sockpuppets. He has recieved a little bit of local interest coverage but nothing significant. Album is independently released. No charting or gold (claims he's sold ~4,000 copies). No major awards. May have toured UK but I found no mention of it in the UK press. PR claims of over a 1,000,000 views on youtube seem fake, 520 seems to be the real figure. Airplay is not national and not rotation. Nothing satisfying WP:MUSIC. Improve Wikipedia by getting rid of spam, stop rewarding bad faith editng. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:33, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as per all the reasons above. In addition the official web-site (refs now removed) had drive-by malicious code suggesting an even less attractive motive for the authors of this piece.  Velella  Velella Talk 09:15, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * If the official web site is still poison, please consider asking that it be WP:Blacklisted or globally blacklisted until the web site is cleaned up. Thanks.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  20:40, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
