Not my field, but I do not see notability. I do see promotionalism, and ungrammatical writing  DGG ( talk ) 05:40, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * * WikiProject Jazz notified. AllyD (talk) 07:32, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete: Multiple searches including Allmusic and Allaboutjazz are not turning up evidence that the subject meets the notability criteria. (Note: there is a Bob Ricci who does comedy music, but I think not the same person.) AllyD (talk) 07:49, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - per WP:BIO. No neutral secundary sources given by the article. I did a google search and found no coverage in secundary sources. -- Taketa (talk) 09:40, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Changing to speedy delete. See below. Copied text, missing OTRS permission; author request; WP:SNOWBALL. -- Taketa (talk) 20:26, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: I clicked on the only external link on the page, despite it being dead, and managed to get to the House of Jazz's official page. Scrolling through the artists it houses at the bottom, I found a page for Bob Ricci, so it's quite possible he's changed stage names. From this page, I also notice that his whole biography appears to have been copy-pasted. If he deserves an article, so does every other Joe Schmo who has ever done bar gigs. -  Sweet Nightmares  14:29, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Entirely primary-sourced article, shading toward advertorial territory, which doesn't actually make any substantive claim that its subject passes even one of the WP:NMUSIC criteria. Also WP:COI if what SweetNightmares says about the article being copy-pasted from another website is true. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 18:41, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Creator of the page: Thank you from your input, I agree that I had primary-sourced the article. About the copy-pasting, it is also true; however, it should be mentionned that it is not plagiarism seeing that I am the one who wrote the original copied text. I was not completely aware of the kind of sources or contents which were allowed for Wikipedia articles. If permitted, I shall delete the page immediately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HatchCloud (talk • contribs) 19:57, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Copyright on Wikipedia is not a question of whether you wrote the original content or not — it's a question of whether we've been explicitly given permission to reuse it. Anybody can claim to be the original author of any material on the internet, but we have no way of verifying that. So even if it's being copied and pasted by its own original author, we still can't keep it if WP:OTRS hasn't received an explicit permission for us to host the copied content. And even if that permission is filed, copied content is virtually always still in violation of one or more of our other content policies (e.g. writing tone, lack of real referencing, etc.), and thus still can't be kept on here without significant revision.

 * Yes, I understand and I agree. I thank you all for making me understand, this is not going to happen again. HatchCloud (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:39, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
