A disputed speedy; a PROD tag was removed without addressing the underlying issues. This biography doesn't seem to meet the WP:MUSIC guidelines in any respect; the article was flagged for rescue but apparently did not interest any potential rescuers. Plenty of time and patience have been applied to this article but there are apparently no reliable sources available to bring it within WP:MUSIC guidelines.

Note that three single-purpose accounts have edited this article, one its creator. The closing administrator will no doubt take this element into consideration. Accounting4Taste:talk 19:31, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are starts of notability, but I see two things: one is a current lack of notability, and the other is that it would appear that a promotion agent is doing the work, which brings in issues of conflict of interest and using us to promote something. Once we get some secondary sources on Chad, I have no problem with him being here. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:59, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - has released stuff on iTunes seems to be the strongest claim for notability, which really isn't notable. No coverage in reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 16:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To clear up some untruths, the strongest claim to notoriety was not having been featured on iTunes. It was (1) having received a considerable amount of views and coverage of a Madonna tribute video featured on many websites with references provided and (2) being included in WeMerge artist magazine, a reliable music publication which did feature and recognize his album Red Flag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.51.71.129 (talk) 18:49, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, a previous editor had stated the he was not affiliated with Chad Siwik. This was ignored. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.51.71.129 (talk) 18:58, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
