Leslie Mendelson

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

COI Biography added by User:Rykodisc, Leslie's label. Notability does not seem to be there; does not meet WP:BAND. Easy on the eyes and the ears alike, but unfortunately not ready for inclusion. Gigs (talk) 20:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete – At this time. Just no coverage.  With out any reviews, you just can not gain notability.  Without notability, no article on Wikipedia.  Likewise, Swan Feathers (Leslie Mendelson album) should also be included in the AFD. ShoesssS Talk 20:39, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Added related afd. Gigs (talk) 20:44, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I should add, Rykodisc themselves are a notable label, and many of their more established artists may well pass the notability guidelines. Gigs (talk) 20:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete all. No coverage to establish notability -- Whpq (talk) 16:24, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I have added a few notable pieces of coverage in an effort to help keep this page up. Upon research, Ryko is in fact a notable label (owned by Warner Music Group), so I see no reason why it shouldn't stay. Dr3w05 (talk) 17:47, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The current standard is two releases on a notable label. These must be not be future releases. Gigs (talk) 20:02, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Apparently these links from Amazon.com and Encore Arts Magazine have been automatically removed. Why is this, considering other artists have similar external links from press on their own pages? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr3w05 (talk • contribs) 17:52, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for creating a new account by the way. There is no need to pretend that you are not Rykodisc, it is actually better to disclose it.   Your links were removed because they were to Myspace.  I don't see any links to Amazon or Encore being removed, only myspace links, which are generally forbidden.  As you have pointed out, Rykodisc carries several notable musicians, and your edits are welcome here, if they aren't overly promotional.  I know there's a lot of rules to absorb right now, but try to hang with it.  Gigs (talk) 20:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
