Jeremy Castle
Delete. Blatant self-promotion, created by person named in article; see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not RasputinAXP 1 July 2005 03:26 (UTC)


 * Delete, non-notable musician. --bainer (talk) 1 July 2005 03:36 (UTC)
 * Delete non notable, fails WP:MUSIC. JamesBurns 1 July 2005 04:49 (UTC)


 * Delete, nn james gibbon  1 July 2005 11:24 (UTC)


 * Keep. Self-promotional, yes, but has released an actual album you can buy on Amazon, gets plenty of Google hits for himself and his work, and guitarstraps.com seems to consider him a "famous customer", to boot. No hits at the Apple Music Store, though ("Did you mean Jerky Cattle? Your search Jeremy Castle did not match any results.") --Calton | Talk 1 July 2005 12:18 (UTC)
 * Hitting his "what links here" page also incorrectly lists him on several 'famous musician' pages as well as incorrectly stating he's sold 20 million albums on the RIAA chart. The only reason I noticed anything was because someone listed him on Baritone as famous above Bing Crosby RasputinAXP 1 July 2005 17:53 (UTC)
 * Keep for above reasons. Martpol 1 July 2005 12:25 (UTC)
 * Keep but majorly overhaul. He should get his own PR man because we're not going to do it for him. "Famous lefthander" my ass. -R. fiend 1 July 2005 12:39 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a yearbook; most of the article is describing his school career.  Almafeta 1 July 2005 13:17 (UTC)
 * Keep. As of 20 million, i removed his entry from List of best-selling music artists, because it was probably added by Jeremy Castle Vorash 1 July 2005 19:02 (UTC)
 * Keep - he appears to have developed into a release artist, and has an album available for sale on Amazon. I think the page needs some editing and toning-down, however. (Rob Church, 23:57 01/07/05 GMT)
 * Keep and cleanup. Allmusic.com confirms release of record in 2002 on Orchard Records. The so-called singles are really tracks on the album. Capitalistroadster 1 July 2005 23:06 (UTC)
 * Have now cleaned up article removing singles and reducing the POV. Capitalistroadster 1 July 2005 23:19 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with JamesBurns. --Tysto 2005 July 2 02:20 (UTC)


 * Delete, nn, not even well known here in his hometown--Tosei 3 July 2005 03:13 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, sounds like he's self-published, and that doesn't count for WP:MUSIC. Orchard records doesn't google except to other labels including those words, and a couple of marketplace sites. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; July 4, 2005 08:49 (UTC)
 * Keep--unsure about the album, but between that and the tour mentioned he meets WP:MUSIC. Meelar (talk) July 6, 2005 14:54 (UTC)
 * Keep--This article is fine as revised. Leave it.
 * Unsigned vote. Couldn't trace down user. --Scimitar 6 July 2005 18:48 (UTC)
