vanity. Why does it seem that so many musicians think Wikipedia is free ad space? delete UtherSRG July 6, 2005 00:52 (UTC)

 * Delete vanity. Fails WP:MUSIC guidelines. JamesBurns 6 July 2005 07:13 (UTC)
 * Keep: I'm not certain that he doesn't meet WP:MUSIC; he has released some music that has been favourably reviewed. Also, H'arpeggione and Fred Carlson seem to hold up to googling very well. Those who've seen my contributions to the VfD before know that I despise musicians using WP for promotion... but I'm not so certain that is what Mr. Hinds is doing. jglc | t | c 6 July 2005 16:23 (UTC)
 * Keep. His Allmusic profile shows that he is a notable avant garde musician with two records to his credit. |HINDS&uid=MIW030507061428&samples=1&sql=11:mt8m96hojep7~T1 . Neither has charted but that is not surprising given that he is an avant garde musician. Arguably meets WP:MUSIC and certainly significant within genre. Capitalistroadster 6 July 2005 18:34 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with jglc and Capitalistroadster. Seems to me to be of enough interest in indie circles. Google has many hits for reviews and CD sales. Double Blue  (Talk) 6 July 2005 19:22 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per above. Mackensen (talk) 6 July 2005 20:15 (UTC)
 * Keep seems to be above notability bar. --Etacar11 6 July 2005 21:53 (UTC)
 * Keep per Capitalistroadster. Kappa 7 July 2005 00:15 (UTC)
 * Keep. Allmusic.com entry establishes sufficient notability. Gamaliel 7 July 2005 01:20 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sufficient notability to comply with WP:MUSIC. Wikipedia is not free ad space, but there should be room for diversity on musicians and genres of music. -Thepinterpause 7 July 2005 17:29 (UTC)
