Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MiXile

This article is created by a user with the same name as the article. As I understand it, it's generally not considered a good practice to create articles about yourself. Dubidub 12:38, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Leaning towards delete, but undecided pending comment by someone familiar with the venues listed on the article. Are these are major venues, or smaller local gigs? If the latter, delete without question. Of course, this is a vanity page in any case. &bull; Benc &bull; 13:40, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Move to user page as suggested by Rossami. &bull; Benc &bull; 02:08, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Apparently unsigned artist, with only EP's. I love experimental music, but the scene is so fractured that there isn't enough space on all the servers in India for every act. Geogre 14:49, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Move to user's page on the general principle that you ought not to write articles about yourself. Entire content of the user's current page is a link to MiXile.  Comment: User has also created links to this article in Performance art and List of electronic music artists and DJs.  I've temporarily reverted those links pending a decision here about general notability. Rossami 15:15, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. The user can put it on their user page, it doesn't belong in the main namespace. Trilobite (Talk) 16:41, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete/whatever. Sure go ahead, delete it.

Obviously I misread the section on the Performance Art Page where it stated that only an existing author&#8217;s favourite artists could be included. Looking at it clearly I can see that working in the area of performance art for almost 20 years counts for nothing when it comes to selection. There again, Performance Art has been an important Artform in Ireland for many years and the &#8216;my favourite artists&#8217; section contains NO Irish Artists.

As far as the author who commented that I had only done 2 EP&#8217;s &#8211; yes, I&#8217;m very sorry; I could only manage 2 EP&#8217;s this year to date. I should have known that the previous body of work stretching back for over a decade would not have counted for anything. Interesting when you consider that the Wikipedia has many listings for artists who are unknown outside of their local town. Oh yea, unsigned? If I make a professional choice to distribute works in a particular way then I don&#8217;t see how it is open to criticism by an uninformed person.

Considering the issue of whether &#8216;these are major venues&#8217; or not, Both the Triskel and Project are major European venues, Garter Lane is one of the largest Art Centres in Ireland.

On the issue of vanity, nothing in my personal life is mentioned. I have purely confined myself to professional activities and if I had wanted to put up a pure vanity page I could have done so anonymously.

Seriously folks, delete the lot. I&#8217;m sorry to have intruded on the party.
