Ronald Presley (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

None important individual, other than his blood line. Also rather promotional article. Nothing of interest here. — Realist² 17:11, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Notability isn't inherited. Also looks like advertising. Shsilver (talk) 17:37, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Notability does not automatically transfer through family. --Pmedema (talk) 18:27, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch! This is simply a work in progress. It is a fun trivial fact that Ronald Presley is related to Elvis. I would have to argue that notability can be assisted with who you know and who you are related to. Ronald’s connection to Elvis is nothing more than interesting trivia. This article is an attempt to document a local artist here in the South East who has played in Zenkil since 1998 and who now is using his talents to promote Death and Thrash Metal here in Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. This is not a promotional advertisement for Ronald, but I just wanted to put this information out there so that fans could eventually add more comments and to learn more about this artist. I did not realize that this site was created to censor articles that some folks deem as not notable enough. I thought this was a tool to get to learn about artists, musicians, and people who make a difference in the world no matter how famous that person is. This article was created for those fans that want to read more about this metal-headed Presley. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashnbham (talk • contribs) 22:02, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Myspace exists for that purpose. Currently the only thing that makes this figure noteworthy is his bloodline, it is not enough. OK, so he places music, so do I. I want a page of my own too. — Realist² 22:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete; there's just no material to demonstrate (or reliable sources to verify) any sort of notability that would meet the criteria of WP:MUSIC. The article leads with a reference to Elvis, has some personal biographical (not career) details, and mentions that he's in a band that does not appear to be well known. --MCB (talk) 22:58, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete He fails the WP:MUSIC as well as the more general guidelines as well as the fact that Wikipedia is not myspace, facebook, a fan gathering site, webhost, nor is notability inherited based on who you are related to. Jasynnash2 (talk) 08:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Non-notable, WP:MUSIC and Wikipedia is not myspace, facebook, a fan gathering site, webhost. AlwaysOnion (talk) 08:31, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete qualifies as CSD A7 as a completely non-notable person. JBsupreme (talk) 08:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete The author himself describes the article as trivia and a fan site. I concur this is not facebook or myspace. Seems like an ad or fan site.74.73.176.161 (talk) 16:07, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
