Léo Costa (Musician)

Looks like he fails WP:NMUSIC. I can't find evidence he performed with any of the listed artists except Everlast, and I don't see any independent reliable sources that cover him. Jackmcbarn (talk) 16:14, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment I am extremely concerned at the level of bad faith shown by some of our editors relating to this page. We are struggling with new editor retention and one sure fire way to scare them off is to hammer them and their articles with multiple warnings as soon as they put up their first articles. This article has been on Wikipedia for 2 days and has been subjected to two CSD nominations, neither of which were valid (A1, A7), had references removed to restore a BLP-PROD (!) and has been tagged as a hoax... when it's clear from a simple google search of "Leo Costa Everlast" that he is indeed a professional drummer who has played with Everlast. Looking at the article, it's painfully obvious that it has been written by an inexperienced editor who doesn't know the ins and outs of WP policy. In situations like these, it is usually more appropriate to help to improve the article if possible and to provide mentorship, rather than ganging up on them and smacking them down for daring to write a WP article.

 * is indeed correct which is why I've striked!, Instead of helping, We've all been stupid & WP:BITEY!, Although I disagree with the article again we should help not bite!. →Davey 2010→  →Talk to me!→  15:18, 1 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - this musician has played in two major bands, so he passes WP:MUSICBIO. Bearian (talk) 22:03, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. This (auto?)bio falls short of WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Being a session muso or touring batera is not the same as being a member of a notable ensemble. Lacks evidence of being a member of any so fails WP:MUSICBIO]]. duffbeerforme (talk) 23:12, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I would tend to agree... The author has been given enough time to demonstrate notability and sufficient information on how to do so.  Catfish  Jim  and the soapdish  15:47, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
