Darren Bartlett

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A Google News Archive search for [ "Darren Bartlett" composer | singer | pianist | piano | vocalist | vocals ] provided me with just two unimpressive hits. I tried a similar Google web search, looked through the first two results pages, and found nothing impressive. I found no biography on AllMusic either.

So, Mr. Bartlett unfortunately appears not to meet our inclusion criteria as summarized at WP:GNG.

User:Amatulic adds[1] that the sources cited in the article "are mostly trivial mentions, album credits, youtube videos, coverage of the subject's work and not the subject himself".

Dear article creator: Even though the article is likely to be deleted, you may still salvage the article by properly transwiki-ing it to some other wiki before it's deleted. Next time, please see WP:42 before you create another article.

Comment - in fairness to the author (who is apparently the subject of this autobiography), valiant efforts have been made to improve the sourcing over the last couple of months. There may be some good ones in there now, but overall I agree it's pretty weak. ~Amatulić (talk) 05:28, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Impressively-written vanity piece, makes him larger than life. The sources don't back him up, though, as most are either trivial mentions or concert write-ups (ie promotional and non-independent). Fails WP:MUSICIAN. -- Ohc ^¡digame!_{¿que pasa?} 08:12, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
