Intro speaks for itself and represents the quintessence of a WP:SELFPUB article. The first cite is from the highly reliable Bebo, which is then followed up by the perennial dated favourite cite, Myspace. All the cites are from Myspace, Bebo or the bands own website. There is nothing about this so-called artist or his band at Allmusic.com, nor is there any reviews of their album Goodbye to Yesterday. There is not a dicky bird on Google news archive for the singer or the band. The article is without doubt an advert for him and his band. The manual of style is unsurprisingly substandard. A look into the history of the article reveals some highly immature, unencyclopedic and trivial editing. It has been nominated for deletion previously but miraculously survived. Why no one has taken decisive action before to remove this pile of trash is worrying; furthermore, self-penned articles with Bebo and Myspace citations should never be allowed to linger on Wikipedia for over 5 years. I strongly propose deletion along with the band article, which I will move on to next. Good luck if anyone can find anything to counterclaim my nomination, I look forward to seeing what I may have missed. Bluidsports (talk) 17:07, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
