Steve Lacy (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Was an unsourced blp, but now a few non-reliable sources have been added. Unable to find in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources to show he passes WP:GNG, and he certainly doesn't pass WP:MUSICBIO. Should probably be redirected to The Internet (band), but an editor keeps restoring the article.

 * Delete still no reliable sources for a BLP. Bearian (talk) 21:29, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sources are self-references; mostly include own tweets, interviews, and uploads on personal YouTube channel. Seems to be a promotional article. ——Chalk19 (talk) 02:06, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. More reliable sources have been added. The self-references (i.e. tweets and YouTube videos) have been deleted. I apologize for creating the article initially without seeing if one should have been created about the musician and also for adding non-reliable sources. Bmegrl9113 (talk) 05:51, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Move to Draft space (or User space), and give the usual amount of time for a draft to be developed. bd2412  T 12:35, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment - I would absolutely favor a move to draft space. The article's creator has been diligently making an effort to improve the article.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:43, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Does moving the article mean deleting it, and then have it recreated as a draft? Anyway, I see that most of the additional sources don't deal with Lacy personally, in the first place, so coverage, although improved, is still lagging behind a level considered to be sufficient. ——Chalk19 (talk) 15:47, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - Hi . No, if the consensus is to draftify, the closing admin will close the AfD, then simply move the existing mainspace article into draftspace, so Bmegrl19113 can continue to attempt to improve it. I agree with your assessment of the additional sourcing. When I did my WP:BEFORE, I couldn't find enough in-depth sourcing to warrant keeping the article.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:50, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
