Phaedra (R&amp;B Songstress)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable performer, has yet to produce an album. This article was already speedily deleted, but has been recreated. The original version of the article, deleted just yesterday, was created by a User who has been blocked due to the fact that their User name, User:Brand Engine, is the name of Phaedra's management. The article was then immediately recreated by a new user. The name of the article itself is problematic, but the subject of the article herself is not notable. Note that the current version of the article is a copyvio from http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=50386241, which is the reason the article was deleted in the first place, but I would prefer an AfD to verify that she, herself, is not notable rather than a beureaucratic deletion due to copyright violation, so we can put a stake into the article once and for all.

 * Keep article probably created so that people without MySpace and use Wikipedia can read about her and her career.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.169.66 (talk) 19:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * That's not a valid keep criterion. Please read WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC.   Corvus cornix  talk  20:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete was already deleted and immediately recreated, seems just like advertisement. --Banime (talk) 15:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete. Wikipedia is not a MySpace substitute. VG &#x260E; 01:23, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep it is a valid wikipedia article that gives information about an artist that has had success in the industry by having a gold record. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BeSlickNick (talk • contribs) 00:44, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * BeSlickNick is the original creator of the article, and is presumably the same as User:Brand Engine, and therefore a representative of this singer's management company.  Corvus cornix  talk  01:09, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * And please provide evidence of the gold record, since the link to Lady Soul goes to the Aretha album, and not to an article about the group.  Corvus cornix  talk  01:11, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: has vandalized this AfD discussion.   Corvus cornix  talk  23:11, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete no sources for WP:MUSIC. We66er (talk) 05:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
