Unreferenced bio of a musician with no demonstrated notability per WP:MUSIC. The closest thing there is to a notability claim here is the phrase "award-winning", with no sourced indication of what actual awards are involved. (It also should be noted that all of the articles which link to this title are expecting an Angolan basketball coach, not an American musician — which, of course, doesn't constitute a deletion rationale in isolation, but it certainly provides a clue to the presence or absence of notability.) I'd also be remiss if I didn't call attention to this related bit of absurdity.

This was previously prodded, but one of the two editors involved in creating the article deprodded with no explanation, and no attempt at improving the article — also arbitrarily removing wikify, notability and articleissues tags at the same time — after the other creating editor's attempt to completely blank the article was reverted as vandalism; shortly after I initiated the full AFD process, the first editor tried to blank the page again. So I'd request that people keep an eye on this for continued tag removal.

At any rate, to me this is a fairly no-brainer delete. What say the rest of you? Bearcat (talk) 06:59, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
