Fails WP:GNG and is probably not notable. A boat  that can float!   (watch me float!)  08:22, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Note to administrators: Please delete the Lee Lynch(Singer) page. I am the creator of this page and I am also Lee Lynch's son. The article was intended as a reference to those wishing to read about him but I am fed up with the constant tampering with this article and the stupid messages attached to it by Wikipedia robots that I would need a degree in science to understand. Indeed, Wikipedia instructions are so complex and ridiculous that I don't even know if I'm posting this message in the correct place.

Lee Lynch passed away on 22nd July and this robotic interference is frankly an insult to his memory. The Wikipedia system seems to operate on a 'you've got to prove it' basis, citations needed, references needed blah blah blah. Well, no I do not and if the Wikipedia process is unable to accept the article in the nature it is intended then I would prefer it not to be there at all. We have an excellent website for those that want to read about Dad which is a far better source of information and a far better tribute to his memory.

 * Maybe you are not familiar with the way Wikipedia works and what it is for. We are sorry for your loss but WP is an encyclopedia, not a memorial site. -- Alexf(talk) 13:50, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes. It is an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia for which I wrote an accurate article, only to have it interfered with by robots and other people that don't know what they are talking about. For this reason I would like it removed please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vcmazz (talk • contribs) 15:10, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I cannot locate any reliable sources to support this article, which is a shame as it with reliable sources ("I know it is true" is not verifiable, I'm afraid). Writing about subjects with who you have a personal involvement can be challenging, which is one of the reason we deter this. See WP:COI. Also, the article cannot be deleted as a author-request speedy at this stage because too many editors have contributed, and the article is old. However, it appears likely that the article will be deleted in a few days through this process. The JPS talk to me  15:45, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
