Longmont Potion Castle

 * — (View AfD)

Looks like a vanity article and reeks of WP:OR. The only reference used is a "webzine article" which is actually part of a no-name band's website. Delete.  Tijuana Brass  08:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * By the way, this AfD really should include the article's spin offs, which are Longmont Potion Castle (album), Longmont Potion Castle 2, Longmont Potion Castle 3, Longmont Potion Castle 4, Longmont Potion Castle 5, The Best of Longmont Potion Castle and Longbox Option Package. All are albums made by the subject.  Tijuana Brass  08:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

In what way is it vanity? For whom that is? implying that the artist himself wrote the entry? I find that highly unlikely, it may seem vanity but according to his forum he has some 600 odd registered members, and I draw the conclusion he has a much larger fanbase, and not only domestic but foreign as well (I for one am residing in Iceland and fans of his I know here reach perhaps triple digits.

And perhaps the sources are scarce due to the fact the artist strives to keep a low profile outside his published work.

Still, I have just finished registering to Wikipedia and if I am in any way misunderstanding the rules then I apologize. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DagurKGJ (talk • contribs)

The most likely culprit to delete this article is probably the dude himself. :P I say leave the page.

 * Delete all per nomination Lacks multiple independent sources such as newspaper reviews or performer or of albums, or demonstration of high sales figures for albums. Reverted article to previous version with AfD template, which was removed by Redlamp. Edison 20:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a real artist and I have a few of his albums. The description of his prank calls is relatively accurate. It gives a good account of what he does and what it sounds like without, of course, giving too much away. If you do ever get your hands on some, check out "Rope". -->Chemical Halo 21:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
