Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Watson (British musician)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. I'm not sure why this was relisted a day after I relisted it so I'm counting 7 days from the 24th of June. I see no consensus to delete and a consensus that the subject passes the notability criteria, and to leave the article for the time being to see if better sourcing can be found. If it turns out it cannot, then there should be no prejudice against a further nomination. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 08:21, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Fails WP:MUSICIAN. What looks like a reasonable bunch of references prove (when they are online refs) to briefly mention him in the context of somebody else's work. TheLongTone (talk) 12:33, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment - some of the sources truly stink, but his association with notable bands, so he might be notable. I'm unsure on this one. Bearian (talk) 18:37, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment - Keep. I can see why some of the references might not make the grade, and so maybe this article needs a little cleaning up, but the fact remains that Watson is a record producer of note. He has produced some fairly well known and critically acclaimed records in the UK, including Paul Wassif's album, which features Eric Clapton and the late Bert Jansch, who sadly died shortly after the record was completed, making it i believe the last record he ever played on.

Comment, I have no idea why a delete tag would be applied without a request for references. Gregkaye (talk) 19:59, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep It is true that he is a notable record producer and has in fact done work that would be declared notable. I think we should tag the article for sourcing and see if editors can bring the article up to standard. I am an entertainment historian and I am very familiar with the background of this, but it would indeed fall under original research. However, I am not sure this nomination qualifies for a deletion due to lack of notability.--Canyouhearmenow 01:42, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
