Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/David DiMuzio

Hi, I'm the editor who originally listed the article. The subject does have a notable background, and I've asked if he could provide links to more substantial and relevant articles per your comments. Thanks for your diligence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluegrain (talk • contribs) 15:22, 2 August 2017 (UTC)


 * , this raises a number of (rhetorical) questions & points,
 * You wrote the article without knowing whether the subject is notable? Why?
 * You're asking the subject for evidence?
 * Taking those 2 points together, this raises the possible interpretation that you're writing the article on behalf of the subject, and that you have a conflict of interest. Are you being paid to write the article?
 * Put it together with the fact that a previous version of the article was deleted 9 years ago, it looks possible you're being used as a cat's paw or meatpuppet.
 * I'm not plastering your talk page with uw-agf-sock warnings, or raising WP:SPI investigations, just drawing your attention to how strange this looks and how it could be (mis-)interpreted.
 * The discussion is taking place on Articles for deletion/David DiMuzio not here. Comments on this page will have no bearing on the outcome of the discussion.

 * , thanks for your concerns. I wrote the article as I felt the subject was indeed notable. I'd worked with an artist that knew of him, and felt that his "taglish" lingual hybrid contributions to popular music were certainly noteworthy, and could possibly help spearhead a new musical genre.

When I'd read the other editor's comments, I'd gotten in touch with the subject, explained that I was compiling a Wiki article, and asked if he had any press links etc. I hadn't looked at the previously deleted article notes, as most of the subject's success seems to have happened within the past decade. I have located two other articles and a biographical interview, and will edit them in as soon as I'm free to.

I take your point re appearing a conflict of interest, however I can assure you & the other editors, I'm just striving for accuracy and verifiable citations, as per Wiki guidelines.

Thank you for your comments.Bluegrain (talk) 14:47, 4 August 2017 (UTC)Bluegrain


 * Thanks for explaining. If you get the supporting material in place in time it may be worth adding a comment to that effect on the deletion discussion and pinging each of the contributors to the discussion to alert them to the changes & invite them to reconsider their opinions.

 * , thanks for your prompt reply. I've edited the opening para to reflect the notability of the subject. I'll continue researching & add more supporting info as noted. it's been some time since I was actively editing, and I apologise for forgetting the pinging/comment protocols.
