Marcus Tristan Heathcock

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Not notable under Notability (music). Of few Google hits, most appear to originate with the subject himself. No references. Seems like self-promotion. All content was originated by User:Marcustristan, which is suspiciously similar to the name of the subject. Grover cleveland 07:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Anonymous IPs based in Saint Petersburg, Russia have repeatedly vandalized the article by removing the AfD notice. See here, here and here.  According to the article, Heathcock lives in St Petersburg.  Given this attitude, it is likely that if the article is deleted that the vandal will attempt to recreate it.  I suggest the article be deleted and additionally be prevented from recreation.  Grover cleveland 20:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * What a surprise: He's at it again. Grover cleveland 04:23, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - I agree, I removed his self-promotion on the Requiem page too. Sigil7 13:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - lacks notability and is probable self-promotion. Biruitorul 15:42, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Self-promotion/COI, no reliable sources or assertion of notability. /Blaxthos 15:51, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Borderline G12 Speedy as well. Cannot find enough verfiable sources to suggest that this person meets WP:Music. A1octopus 20:59, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and Move to user space -- there's nothing specific in the notability guidelines to cover contemporary composers, but I would think one of (a) a notable publisher, (b) a notable work, (c) a notable award, (d) a notable academic or orchestral appointment would be needed. Since he's taken the time to write an encyclopedic style article, I'm going to assume good faith and assume it's just a misunderstanding of WP policies.  Moving this article to his user space may be more likely to give us a valuable editor in the future. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 15:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
