Doesn't appear to meet notability guidelines. Seems to be part of a series of self-promotion/promotion by someone connected to the subject. Boleyn (talk) 08:13, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I guess it doesn't meet the criteria, but I think it could be kept with the notability tag, at least for now. But the articles about his EPs and songs should definitely be deleted. — Mayast (talk) 08:42, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the notability tags on these articles keep being swiftly removed by an IP, so I think leaving it with a notability tag isn't an option. Plus this article has had since March 2011 to establish notability and hasn't done so. It could be userfied, so if he meets the criteria in the future, it could easily be re-added to Wikipedia, but I think its notability needs to be established one way or another at this point, rather than giving it extra time. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 09:02, 23 October 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Comment If the article doesn't meet the criteria, then it should go.--A bit iffy (talk) 21:24, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Can't find any substantial independent accounts of Galea. The song "Frontline" doesn't really seem to be a hit so far as I can see.--A bit iffy (talk) 21:24, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Frontline was a number 1 in Europe and was broadcast to over 500,000 viewers. Both EPs have has substance press over uk and Europe all swell with Grammy winning producers on the records .

Delete, fails WP:BAND. And delete any other recording of him per WP:A9. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 14:59, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm completely with Mayast on this one. Could be kept with the notability tag. Thea Garrett, a Eurovision Song Contest performer, has recorded one of his songs and this has also been reviewed in the Times of Malta. However, I also see Boleyn's point about how the entry could be userfied until further notability is established. He has also collaborated with Scorcher (rapper) on his latest release, so there's that to consider too. Naturally it can be argued that there's a relatively weak case for notability, and there may indeed be elements of self-promotion, but I think deleting it is harsher than assuming good faith and working to establish further notability. --ToniSant (talk) 15:48, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am with (talk) and ToniSant aswell this page needs to be kept as John is notable figure notability in the UK music industry . Other artists who have achieved lesser have fuller pages. Frontline was number 1 single and his personal tracks do it my way and golddiggin have had promo . Check the refs on his page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kpepper123 (talk • contribs) 11:30, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Kpepper, can I ask why your very first edit on Wikipedia is on a deletion discussion page? Are you the same user as the blocked User:Johngalea24? Boleyn (talk) 12:16, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No (talk)I am not thank you. I am editing whatever I want and this seems to be an important issue I would like to address. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kpepper123 (talk • contribs) 19:49, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
