Matt Henshaw

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia:Vanispamcruftisement. This is a repost of previously deleted material, deleted after Articles for deletion/Censored and Articles for deletion/Matt Henshaw (British musician). This version has only superficial differences to what has been deleted. He released an album with ReggiiMental (or Reggiimental), sourced by links to shops, no independent coverage. He toured and appeared at Godiva Festival but there is no independent coverage. Article has a ridiculously over the top bombardment of references. When you get rid of youtube, blogs, fanzines, primary, user contributed, bandcamp, gig listings, stores, press release, refs where Henshaw isn't mentioned you are left with a small amount of coverage for his old band Censored. This local coverage was in the Censored article when it was deleted at afd, it was not enough to show notability for the band, let alone for any of it's members. This was recently reposted at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Matt Henshaw (along with a repost of the Censored article which was speedy deleted as a repost ). The Articles for creation submission was declined but User:Ilsonowl (look at the youtube link) posted it anyway. Henshaw was not notable when this advert first appeared and nothing has happend to make him notable since so this should be deleted.

 * Delete Though his band Censored could probably squeak through an AfD now (though I note it doesn't currently have an article; the Censored links on Henshaw's page point elsewhere), the sources don't support Henshaw's notability outside of his work with that band. Opening at the Lovebox festival is the only real claim-to-fame here. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 15:47, 5 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete—Nom is correct, though perhaps some friendly admin could look at the history of the deleted Matt Henshaw article and see if it's a close enough match to get this CSD'ed. Liv it ⇑ Eh?/What? 19:00, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually, this was originally CSD'd, but (1) the last AfD was from a year ago and (2) this was significantly expanded, so I removed the tag. Given the drive-by "seems legit" !vote, prod probably wouldn't have been effective either. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 19:55, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete re-creation of deleted article, doesn't appear to pass our music guidelines now or then. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:12, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
