To begin with, this is a blatant conflict of interest, having been authored by single-purpose account Vcatana86. More to the point, although Mr Catana evidently believes he belongs in an encyclopedia, the evidence doesn't support that. The sources are largely marginal, the prizes he allegedly won we have no indication of their significance, and there's nothing actually discussing him in any depth. Nice promotional page, but he should set up an official website for that sort of thing. Biruitorul Talk 01:39, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Just delete it ! Can you also delete the facebook artist page relied to that wikipedia page or it will delete as you delete the wiki page ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vcatana86 (talk • contribs) 08:05, 13 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Promotional article. As for the Facebook page, no it won't get deleted. Facebook ain't related to Wikipedia. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 12:23, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Please delete also the photos. I didn't create the Facebook page, it just appeared with the informations from Wikipedia ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.25.255.124 (talk) 12:43, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Although this is a very promising career, it isn't far enough advanced yet for this singer to have an article. Normally what I look for in an opera singer is one of the following (1) evidence of having performed one or more leading roles (for their voice type) in several opera houses, or multiple leading roles in one major opera house. (2) multiple appearances as a soloist with major symphony orchestras (3) two or more recordings on a notable classical music label (4) Having won or placed second in a major singing competition (I don't think any of the ones listed qualifies for this). As for the Facebook page. If you are referring to this one, Facebook generates these automatically from Wikipedia articles. Although they have a disclaimer on them ("Community Pages are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, anyone associated with the topic."), they're misleading and several artists in the past have objected to this practice. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is powerless to stop these. However, once the Wikipedia page is deleted, these pseudo Facebook pages usually disappear as well. Voceditenore (talk) 08:08, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
