Maverick Marsalis

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article is an autobiography, rather promotional and POV in style, and previously relying on a number of primary sources. Looking at the films claimed in the biography, as well as some edits in the article history, it seems this person is also known by some other names including D. Kelly Marsalis. Whatever the name, I contend that the threshold of notability for a biography is not met. -- zzuuzz (talk) 12:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or complete re-write. This is just autobio spam. This person may be notable, but hyperbole alone won't establish it. Google turns up some interesting references. Hairhorn (talk) 13:18, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per no proof of notability. One of the dangers of creating your own article on Wikipedia is that you're also allowing others to write about you, and like Hairhorn, I found unflattering material  and  and  among others.  Mandsford 13:29, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete and SALT to prevent recreation. After one removes what cannot be sourced, all one has is a name. And in considering the phone message linked above, it is apparent that any sourcable negative information that might be included would result in major headaches for the foundation.
