The article Lefteris Hapsiadis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- The article appears to fail the WP:AUTHOR guidelines. I find no matches on Google Books and no matches on WorldCat under the English or Greek names. There are no matches on Google News or Google Scholar and the article makes no claims to significance in terms of literary awards or anything meaningful against the notability guidelines for authors.
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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fæ (talk) 12:46, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
October 2010[edit]
Thank you for your recent contributions. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, without the risk of speedy deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 13:00, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- Note there is also the option of requesting WP:USERFICATION of a challenged article. The benefit being that you can take your time drafting and get feedback (say, from WP:RFF) before re-releasing the article. Please use the {{helpme}} template should you wish to take this route. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 13:02, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Deletion[edit]
I'll put your deleted text here.
Bear in mind I'm also a frequent financial contributor to and vocal promotor in college for my students of Wikipedia. — Doesn't get you special treatment, I'm afraid.
I'm sure your motives are good, but the tone of the article are hagiographic. Let's look at the claims made in just the first paragraph, without supporting independent verifiable sources.
- many of which became classics
- largely adored by the Greek public of all ages
- some of the best rebetika and popular music songs
- an exceptional CD
- still performed by the vast majority of the most popular singing performers
This and the rest of the article read as if written by his agent or music publisher. It's supposed to be a neutral encyclopaedia article, not a glowing review. Has he or his works never attracted a hostile review? As an academic, you should be aware of the importance of sourcing and neutrality, not promoting a particular point of view.
In his long career as a lyrics writer, Hapsiadis achieved a number of Golden and Platinum record awards — an independent ref for that should establish notability

More[edit]
Thanks for asking me to take another look. I've made a few mainly technical edits. I think you may have missed the [] around the reference examples I gave, I've fixed the first one to hide the url, but the others need the brackets added.
The tone is much better, although part of para 3 of Life is a bit glowing For a short time... considered as one of the best Greek lyrics writers of the last century... the rising star composer C... legendary... one of the most prominent novel writers the country has seen in recent years. ... widely famous....
The article as a whole is very short of references. Biographies of living people must be referenced, but there are no references for most of the facts about his life, and the current references are mainly to things like CDs and song lyrics, not to his life history. You must have got your facts from somewhere, let us know. He is a gold record artist, there must surely be some reference for that? As it stands, I don't think the article is safe from listing for deletion either as an unsourced biography of a living person, or WP:OR. If you look at, say Celestiial, it's not particularly heavily referenced, compared to something like Aaliyah, but it gives sources for the main facts

- I think that it looks better now, although I'm not sure that a discussion with close friends is RS!. The article space isn't protected, so if there is nothing more to add, you can just move or cut and paste to Lefteris Hapsiadis Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:33, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
