- Phaedra (R&B Songstress) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Non-notable performer, has yet to produce an album. This article was already speedily deleted, but has been recreated. The original version of the article, deleted just yesterday, was created by a User who has been blocked due to the fact that their User name, User:Brand Engine, is the name of Phaedra's management. The article was then immediately recreated by a new user. The name of the article itself is problematic, but the subject of the article herself is not notable. Note that the current version of the article is a copyvio from http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=50386241, which is the reason the article was deleted in the first place, but I would prefer an AfD to verify that she, herself, is not notable rather than a beureaucratic deletion due to copyright violation, so we can put a stake into the article once and for all.

- Keep article probably created so that people without MySpace and use Wikipedia can read about her and her career. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.169.66 (talk) 19:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That's not a valid keep criterion. Please read WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. Corvus cornixtalk 20:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete was already deleted and immediately recreated, seems just like advertisement. --Banime (talk) 15:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy delete. Wikipedia is not a MySpace substitute. VG ☎ 01:23, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep it is a valid wikipedia article that gives information about an artist that has had success in the industry by having a gold record. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BeSlickNick (talk • contribs) 00:44, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- BeSlickNick is the original creator of the article, and is presumably the same as User:Brand Engine, and therefore a representative of this singer's management company. Corvus cornixtalk 01:09, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- And please provide evidence of the gold record, since the link to Lady Soul goes to the Aretha album, and not to an article about the group. Corvus cornixtalk 01:11, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
