Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedy deleted as being about a subject that was invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally and for lack of asserted importance, because... ( an artist with similar spelling has flagged Aiden James falsely. Aiden James is an LGBT Musicial Artist of note in the International Gay and Lesbian Publication, The Advocate Magazine ^[1] along with MetroWeekly Washington, DC^[2])

Definitely agreed that the tagger was trying too hard to find some speedy criterion to squeeze this into — obviously, a person can't have invented himself in the sense that's necessary to fit the criterion it was tagged with. While there are some WP:COI-related neutrality issues here, in that there are a few places where the writing lapses into a public relations/advertorial tone rather than an encyclopedic one, that isn't a deletion reason in and of itself. There are things here (two albums, touring, media coverage) that satisfy WP:NMUSIC — so the problems with the article as currently written are maintenance issues rather than deletion issues, because if the basic notability is there in principle then any problems with the way in which the content is being presented are completely fixable. I'll take a stab later at improving the article for compliance with our content standards, but it's definitely not an outright deletion candidate. Bearcat (talk) 19:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
