Phil Hare - English Folk Guitarist, Singer and Songwriter

The title is absolutely incorrect, and that's just getting started. No citations, no sources, not favorable google hits and promotional youtube links. This wasn't A7'd but I don't see where importance is asserted because there is a mild bit of importance asserted, but nothing backed up with a viable reference. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 13:02, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * "Phil's debut album 'Living On Credit' was released to critical acclaim and featured strong political material which moved the Daily Telegraph to say in July 1990: 'If Folk song is history from underneath, the Phil's songs are todays' broadsides'." That isn't an assertion of importance? Theleftorium (talk) 13:06, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Tho I was unable to find a source for the Telegraph quote. There is certainly assertion of importance, but not sure there are reliable sources to back that up. Syrthiss (talk) 13:11, 22 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:PUFFERY - also reads like WP:AUTOBIO. No WP:RS available.  "Criticial acclaim" does not meet WP:MUSIC ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 13:30, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - I can find no significant coverage about this musician. This article in Spalding Today is a substantial writeup with several assertions of notability; assertions that were taken verbatim from the musician's website biography.  As such, it's really a press release rehash rather than independent coverage. -- Whpq (talk) 15:58, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
