 * After looking up Seth Davis Wiki page and discovering that his page is being considered for deletion has got me very confused. The Seth Davis page seems to be very accurate and may be missing some of his accomplishments but I could not verify all. He is a perfectionist at it's finest and has nothing but heart for his profession and passion of percussion. He is all about business and is very down to earth and always willing to help and teach others interested in this world we call music. He worked very hard and learned a lot of music very quickly. And may I say not easy music to learn. Seth seems to have Dealt with all that was coming his way and overcame many obstacles that were put in front of him last minute. Seth does not have to impress, his percussion speaks for itself. Like I mentioned in the beginning of my statement a bit confused on why his page would be considered for deletion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:32CC:2160:2DFC:48CC:9C9B:4452 (talk) 19:47, 24 March 2015 (UTC)  — 2602:306:32CC:2160:2DFC:48CC:9C9B:4452 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * How is Seth Davis' wiki page "entirely self-promotion" when it is all factually based with substantial references and written by fans?Drumming4Life (talk) 20:32, 22 March 2015 (UTC) — Drumming4Life (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * I'm really frustrated with the fact that any individual would even think of deleting this article. Seth Davis has devoted almost his entire life to teaching his craft for either peanuts or for free so that other individuals can learn and carry on his knowledge. The "wiki page", although does not give all the information on this world renowned drummer, is an article much like any other wiki article filled with facts about his life. It would be a shame to see such an article deleted from the wiki records. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John.hebert35 (talk • contribs) 22:19, 22 March 2015 (UTC)  — John.hebert35 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Seth Davis is an accomplished drummer/musician with many credible references as well as noted recordings with accomplished bands. He Made History by winning many competitions in various categories of drumming, as well as established his own techniques to the approach, practice, and performance of drumming. This is not an autobiographical page to be deleted, it is but a record of his accomplishments throughout his career, in which he is continually growing. His skills can be compared to Buddy Rich, Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, and several other amazing musicians that are also in wikipedia articles. If they have articles about them, being accompished drummers, why shouldn't Seth Davis be among them. If you have seen his videos and his performances, there would be no question about his inclusion into the great library of wikipedia. I am a supporter and frequent user of wikipedia, and would love to see them include this article among the many other great articles that this website and participants have produced. Mainly, for the world to learn about as many people as they can through this website, as I have, all sharing and networking to better educate ourselves and others we influence. Thanks for your time. - Christopher T. Gautreaux — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christopher T. Gautreaux (talk • contribs) 22:51, 22 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Why is Seth Davis drumming page being considered for deletion? It says "self promotion"? That makes no sense. Seth didn't have anything to do with the creation of the page. Not only that, everything in it is completely true. Because it may seem far fetched to some has absolutely no bearing on it's validity. Going by wiki's criteria for the deletion of this page, are we to subsequently call into question every individual who has pushed and strived to achieve into question? I mean if that is what we are doing then we all have some work to do to alert Wikipedia on all extraordinary individuals who's personal achievements apparently are suspect because SOMEONE thinks it's too good to be true. Also not to nit pick but "self" promotion indicates that it was perpetrated by self i.e. Seth Davis himself which it was not. All of Seth's achievements are verifiably facts. Maybe you should check for errors in fact instead of pointing accusatory fingers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tdthardy (talk • contribs) 01:24, 23 March 2015 (UTC)  — Tdthardy (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * I have been aware of Seth Davis as an unusually gifted drummer for a number of years. But I was surprised to see that he did not have a Wiki some time ago. I became aware of him through his Youtube videos and quickly bought one of his drumming courses. As a drummer, I found that he has a way of "hitting the nail on the head" in terms of material to give a strong amount of results with a small amount of practice time. I was actually a co-coordinator at one of his live seminars and thus have seen him play in person before. IMO, this wiki page is not exaggerating any of his accomplishments, tittles, or abilities. He has so many for being such a young musician and certainly belongs in here. It would be very sad if this page were taken out as serious drummers such as myself and family definitely benefit by having this info available. I simply do not see any downside to this page about him at all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottyjazz (talk • contribs) 23:10, 25 March 2015 (UTC)  — Scottyjazz (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * I don't understand why this page is being considered for deletion. Seth's devotion and contributions to the art and science of drumming is unequalled.  His involvement in the industry as a technician and teacher has been fastidiously documented and should remain a part of the Wikipedia database for all to see.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelonious Pink (talk • contribs) 00:14, 26 March 2015 (UTC)  — Thelonious Pink (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * strong delete swarming of single purpose editors indicate conflict of interest, and no reliable sources. LibStar (talk) 05:13, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete There are a lot of Seth Davis's out there. Anyway, adding "+drum" cuts the no. of results to five, four of which are in Google Plus and one I don't recognize the language but appears a video sharing site.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 07:45, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
