Garry King

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

BLP article about a drummer and music producer filled with unambiguous advertising — both for the subject and for his gear endorsement partners. I can't find widespread coverage in independent sources that would justify inclusion and even if WP:N was met, nuking it and starting over would seem to be the more sensible option.

 * Delete - This is one of those long-serving journeyman musicians who has made an honest living bouncing around the industry as a sideman and studio hound, but all of his works are a few degrees of separation away from notability in his own right. He made the metalhead news briefly in 2013 for leaving the band Exorcism (themselves barely notable), and for all his other band memberships he is only ever listed briefly as being present. For his studio work he has some friendly interviews in the gearhead press, but once again most of his coverage is brief listings in pro directories. And finally, the nominator is correct about this article's attempted promotion of his various business ventures. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:13, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TNT, as the formatting and sourcing is terribly bad. If you want to, per WP:CHEAP, redirect to band Exorcism. Bearian (talk) 14:53, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Part of a promotional walled garden surrounding the repeatedly deleted Csaba Zvekan. Exorcism is another page created by the same coi editor and I question their notability. He didn;t make news leaving them as suggested above, pr releases were repeated saying it happened. Don't bother redirecting, band page should be deleted too. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:53, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable musician, Non-notable band. Couldn't find anything reliable about either him or the band. Especially the band. Just streaming service entries, social media pages, press releases and lots and lots of blogs. I have found several album reviews - on WordPress sites, unfortunately. The only reliable source is this: Rock Hard album review Rock Hard is a notable magazine. I have also searched for two of their albums. "Exorcism End of Days" yielded results from horror movies and a few streaming service/database links. "Exorcism I Am God" yielded much more results, including several album reviews as I mentioned, but like I said those reviews are featured on blog sites. There are also press releases about them releasing a new track or album but that's it. Non-notable band and non-notable musician like I said. Also, the article was created by Csabi911 (most likely Csaba Zvekan himself), whose main Wikipedia activity revolves around the bands Raven Lord and Exorcism (he is part of both of these bands), and Garry King so the COI (conflict of interest) is obvious. None of these articles are notable, in fact, Raven Lord and Exorcism are up to deletion as well. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 10:37, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
