Paul Lizzi

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A musician. Has done two singles. Creator of a social networking website [www.fanflux.com]. Unable to find any reliable references for either Mr. Lizzi or fanflux. Fails both WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG Bgwhite (talk) 05:59, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep: I have provided a number of independent media sources about his notability. He has been part of many musical productions. I have named artists he has worked with that are very notable. As to him having just two singles, he started releasing independent materials in late 2010. This doesn't mean that he was inactive prior to that. werldwayd (talk) 06:06, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment There is a youtube link, two blogs and a partial interview as references. As I stated in the nomination, unable to find reliable references. Bgwhite (talk) 06:53, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: After the nomination for deletion and your comments, I have now added some more references about Lizzi and his notability. werldwayd (talk) 18:07, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Please add new comments below this notice. 2nd relist as this is a BLP and the sources are very flimsy IMO. Thanks, Black Kite (t)   01:43, 7 November 2011 (UTC)




 * Delete. The subject of the article seems to have three possible sources of notability:
 * 1) Founder of fanflux.com - The only ref provided is a link to the site. "Fanflux" nets zero Gnews hits. General Ghits are primary, social media sites, or trivial.
 * 2) Modeling career - References offered are an indeterminate blog with a couple of vids and pics, a blog that "was created by Marie-Ève Côté in 2010 to enable  existing artist and new artists to get noticed" containing what appears to be a straight reprint of his press sheet and a link to a youtube video plus another link to the same blog, this time of a picture of subject in a t-shirt; and there's a primary link to an apparently non-notable modeling agency, saying that they're working with him. Gnews and Ghits in general offer nothing better to evidence notability.
 * 3) Music career - Article provides a couple of refs: this profile for a site covering the Anjou and Mercier neighborhoods of Montreal, his hometown (he's an Anjou lad). The article is a recap of who he is and then a brief section, literally entitled (in English translation) "A promising future". An interview on what appears to be PR site of some sort--certainly nothing WP:RS. An artist-provided artist profile on a Japanese music festival site. A bio on a marketing site that is "much more than a web media site. It’s a venue where artists both locally and internationally will turn to launch their careers." And lastly, he's on staff at some sort of high school battle-of-the-bands presenting organization. Unreferenced in the article but apparently solid is his connection with Karl Wolf, as he is credited as drummer on one of the latter's albums. Gnews and Geverything searches don't find anything better, for notability purposes.
 * The article and the available sources paint a picture of a young, energetic, attractive working musician who has not yet achieved encyclopedia-level notability on musical or broader WP:ENT grounds. He may yet do so, in which case a WP article will be welcome. But solidly fails WP:GNG for right now. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 03:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
