Autobiography, after being told that he should not continue writing an article on himself, he ignored it and continued adding content. No evidence that he is notable beyond a single online article; many of the boasting comments are unsourced and I can't find anything reliable to support them. Terrillja _talk 02:52, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The subject doesn't meet WP:GNG by showing either significant coverage or coverage in reliable sources. In one source he's mentioned as having placed seventh(!) in an air guitar competition. In another he's quoted. In two he has photo credits. And in one he plays guitar on a children's album. First Light (talk) 05:48, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for the reasons given above. The subject does not meet the requirements of WP:GNG as outlined by both Terrillja and First Light. Further, he appears to be in violation of WP:PROMOTION since he is writing an article about himself that serves no purpose other than self-promotion. This article would have been a successful speedy deletion if the subject had not intervened himself to stop that process. AaronTheTypoWarrior (talk) 08:29, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Insufficient coverage to merit a standalone article. Plus, Wikipedia is not a vanity press. -- Rrburke (talk) 12:56, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per Rrburke. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 ^(Contact) 17:46, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
