I would like to request a deletion of this artist page. I am the article subject, I regard myself as a non-notable, private person, and the artical/page to be deleted. Many of the items included have been fabricated with an excessive amount of contributors and edits. Thanks Trash McSweeney. Theredpaintings (talk) 21:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep According to AllMusic bio (currently at ref [4]) they have issued albums, they toured Australia, United States and Europe. With other reliable sources, the article clearly demonstrates the band's notability per WP:NBAND notwithstanding its need for better editing for improvement.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 12:06, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Strong DeleteThe act has has some touring but much of the information is incorrect. It is misleading information to general public, industry and is also hurting the bands profile and business. Theredpaintings (talk) 13:59, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - There are procedures for dealing with an article about yourself, which typically involve a request to administrators; see WP:BIOSELF and WP:AUTOPROB. As for Red Paintings, the band got media coverage that satisfies Wikipedia's requirements for notability, so their article is useful for readers. If it contains inaccuracies they can be cleaned up without deleting the article. It definitely needs to be pared down to remove non-notable trivia. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:07, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another Comment - The band also has (by my count) seven album articles in Wikipedia, so if the band's article is deleted then we will have to take care of the albums too. Articles: Angel Flummox, Cinema Love, The Virgin Mary Australian Tour Acoustic/Strings Album, Walls (EP), Destroy the Robots, Feed the Wolf, The Revolution Is Never Coming. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:29, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (but clean up) - After investigating their history to inform my two comments above, I can conclude that the band has a healthy amount of media coverage while on tour and some reliable reviews of some of their albums. The article should be pared down to remove a lot of insignificant trivia, and some of their album articles could probably be redirected to the band article. If the nominator is concerned about inaccurate or private info in the article, that can be removed rather easily. Having the article is useful for WP readers as long as it is cleaned up, and I hereby volunteer to do it myself. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
