Nathan Fake
Article doesn't meet WP:MUSIC, subject has written and complained about inaccuracies and states that he would prefer to see the article deleted. Subjects wishes aside, the article is of poor quality with little chance of improvement and failes to meet our criteria. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 06:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC per nominator.-- Tdxi an  g  07:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:MUSIC. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 08:03, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - look at the GHits -, many positive media mentions from reputable sources. Other people who have requested articles about themselves be deleted haven't got their way. Ac@osr 08:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC. Nice reviews aren't enough: release a damn record. -- GWO
 * Comment - the reviews are for his album.....Ac@osr 09:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, does not fail WP:MUSIC: he "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,[1] reported in notable and verifiable sources.". See e.g. [a very recent interview in Out Soon, in Dutch, where his Japanese tour is discussed, and where it is mentioned that he will be playing for the second time at Ten Days off (a Techno festival during the [[Gentse Feesten]] with 20,000 visitors. He will also play at the Dour festival in Belgium next month, and has played at Eurockéennes, a festival with a/o/ Depeche Mode, Muse, Morrissey and Sigur Ros. I can also offer a Newspaper review from De Morgen. Young artist with only one album, but has toured, has performed at major festivals (internationally), has received a lot of attention, ... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fram (talk • contribs).
 * Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:34, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, passes WP:MUSIC. BoojiBoy 13:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong/speedy Keep - The subject of an article cannot request its deletion because he does not like it. I removed any info that isn't blatantly true.  He has released an album: see here!.  He has toured internationally, which meets WP:BAND blantantly and explicitly.  See here for the page on Resident Advisor about him: http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj_view.asp?ID=636.  He has had his works reviewed by many reputable sources, which meets the criteria of being featured in multiple non-trivial works: here, here, and Googling for reviews brings up many reviews for non-trivial sources: here.  Speedy keep if possible due to overwhelming evidence.  Wickethewok 15:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems to meet WP:MUSIC per the above points. If there's inaccurate data left after the recent cleanup, feel free to correct them.  The artist's wishes are not relevant to inclusion.  Kuru  talk  19:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Fram and Ac@osr. This is why article creators should add sources. Captainktainer * Talk 23:33, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
