Appears to fail WP:MUSIC. Additionally, article written by subject, so large conflict of interest. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:29, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree that it appears that way to me as well. Although the artist is in the mix and has received newspaper publicity (article in the Boston Globe) and award(s), there is a question as to who wrote the article and the motivation for writing it. If it's the artist himself who wrote the article on himself, then there's a conundrum in Wikipedia ethical terms. Notability is another general issue which is harder to resolve and weigh out. --- (Bob)

In the Dorchester, Massachusetts article, Robert Grant (or the person with the editor tag "User:Robertgrant1976") appears to have added himself as a notable person from Dorchester. Does this follow the same guidelines ? --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 15:43, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
