Tagged db-repost but as far as I can tell the deletion was Articles for deletion/Robert O Connor, the content was different and it was a while back. That said, the subject has been liberally spammed (e.g. WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/robertoconnorofficial.com) and notability is thin at best. The article reads as if the subject or his PR wrote it, but it appears to have been created (form whole cloth) by an established user. An article this big coming out of nowhere is unusual, I don't know what that's about - maybe it was from WP:AFC but I can't see it there. Guy (Help!) 17:30, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - The article was not created by an established user, it was moved by an established user. User:MRUM08 added the text to the dab Robert O'Connor, his first edit (under this name, anyway). User:Boleyn moved it from there to its current location. Similar pages (and/or related sub-pages) were created by User:Bear77, User:Robertoconnor, User:Robertoconnorofficial and User:Loragannon. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 17:54, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for that. Guy (Help!) 20:36, 25 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete and salt. After numerous creations, this still isn't notable. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 17:57, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete no independent sources provided or found which discuss this artist. Doesn't meet WP:BAND -Hunting dog (talk) 19:29, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I just spent a fair amount of time investigating this, and have to say that while someone's doing a pretty reasonable job of making Mr. o'Connor look good on the web, I can't find a thing that would indicate he meets WP:MUSIC at this time. His record distribution place indicates that he's an indie artist, he's got the one album and a bit of buzz (not much) about some of the singles he's released, but hasn't made the charts taht I can find, and the coverage is pretty slim all around. Delete unless someone comes up with proof that he's all his bios claim. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:17, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
