Propose Deletion

Notify author/project: == Proposed deletion of Mike Carabello ==

The article Mike Carabello has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article reads like a summary page from a press kit used to promote artists/musicians. Or possibly a review from a newspaper. It certainly isn't suitably written for an encyclopedia. I think the guy is possibly notable enough, but this is very soapbox-like and promotional sounding. Additionally there is no real confirmable reference or citation other than the name of a newspaper. And even then, no specific article in the newspaper is referenced. But given how un-neutral and promotional this article is in, it needs to either be rewritten properly from the ground up by someone who is interested or deleted altogether.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Following a request at WP:REFUND I have restored this as a contested PROD, reverted to the version before the rewrite which prompted the PROD, removed unsourced gossip and added basic references. This is now a very basic stub which could do with (properly sourced) expansion. JohnCD (talk) 11:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
