Patrick Alavi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have just noticed this article after I received an echo for Russ Chimes. I am not disputing whether or not Alavi needs an article - he passes WP:MUSICBIO - but I am disputing whether or not we need this one per WP:TNT. This one is very horribly written - I have already banished a diatribe of this from the article and I really went into one on the talk page regarding its referencing. Does the fact that Alavi has had some poxy #79 hit on the Dutch Singles Chart really necessitate us lugging this shit-tip around? Laun chba  ller  09:32, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. AFD is not cleanup, barring exceptional cases.  This article needs work, but I don't see any reason it should be considered too bad to allow normal editorial processes to improve.  Nothing in the article stands out as a BLP violation, and the nominator agrees the subject meets the notability threshold. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 13:37, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. I concur with ; change all the uses of "Patrick" to "Alavi" per WP:SURNAME (which I've done) and (perhaps thanks to cleanup efforts by other editors during the AfD) it now reads as a reasonably objective and factual piece. --Arxiloxos (talk) 13:59, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. The subject is notable, and the article is not so bad that it needs to be nuked and started again. Thanks to Arxiloxos and others for cleanup so far. Moswento talky 14:10, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
