Robert Fairweather
Lengthy hagiography in Variety-speak ("phenom", etc.) about some person who's just released his first CD. It smells of spamvertising (via press-release recycling). Hoary 03:46, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC) ACTUALLY A GREAT PLAYER.
 * Delete: Nauseating advertising. Someone's in love with Robert Fairweather, and it seems like it's Robert Fairweather.  Geogre 16:08, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. 'Spamvertising' is right. --LeeHunter 18:38, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Smells like a press release. David Johnson 17:13, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * The comment above, "actually a great player", was inserted by 12.73.230.103, an IP number that has made no other contributions. Now, the original article was posted by 12.73.244.153, and it was 12.73.235.100 who deleted the deletion notice, replacing it with "wikipedia...free / for me to poop on..". (Thanks for noticing the poop, Proteus!) There's a certain resemblance among these three numbers -- and yes, SamSpade.org reveals that all these three are used by a single ISP, AT&amp;T WorldNet Services. Hoary 05:16, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I've reluctantly resuscitated this VfD, in response to what is at least the second attempt to add a hagiography of this non-notable person to Wikipedia. Please add your votes (pro or con) below. -- Hoary 07:53, 2005 Feb 12 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete as recreation of an article previously deleted by VfD. See Candidates for speedy deletion. I will change the VfD tag to the SD tag. JoaoRicardo 08:35, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a Wikipedia policy I'd forgotten about. Good move, Joao. -- Hoary 08:44, 2005 Feb 12 (UTC)

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.
 * Speedy deleted, recreation of article previously deleted as per VfD decision. It's also listed as a copyvio, but the talk page reads Yes, Permission has been granted by the artist Robert Fairweather and his record company BlueSpawn Records to host the Robert Fairweather site on Wikipedia. Unfortunately (-> that's not the only permission required. Andrewa 09:04, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
