Comment: Even if the subject were determined to be notable (and Michig makes a good point), the current article is such a mess that one would really need to erase the text and start over. Per , I'd delete it for that alone. If anyone wants to try to find sources proving notability, it would be best to start from scratch

Comment: This isn't advertising. It's a bit of a mess, but could potentially be fixed by editing. There are plenty of sources around, e.g. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=uTuZRK1B1B8C&pg=PT30&lpg=PT30&dq=%22spaceman+patterson%22&source=bl&ots=qJvjc40__9&sig=5s1Uw3JCJmKcqEgq-u7e7-ujc9Q&hl=en&sa=X&ei=KIbSU8qyO8GI7Aa_j4DQAg&ved=0CDwQ6AEwBzgU#v=onepage&q=%22spaceman%20patterson%22&f=false Billboard: confirms longtime working partnership with Bill Cosby, producing Cosby's album, and work with Alicia Keys and LL Cool J, http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=H5r-mzXMJfEC&pg=PA289&lpg=PA289&dq=%22spaceman+patterson%22&source=bl&ots=QpzlFK3OSt&sig=xWO7F8FCk0-NmXA-brBi7CIbfTY&hl=en&sa=X&ei=OYbSU4jHE6LB7AbD-YCIDw&ved=0CB8Q6AEwADge#v=onepage&q=%22spaceman%20patterson%22&f=false Book: work on Miles Davis' ''Amandla'' album, http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=_E350jJ-Ui4C&pg=PA376&lpg=PA376&dq=%22spaceman+patterson%22&source=bl&ots=fX-trz3m3s&sig=cSvhU_TOI5KKihf8fpYnqanAo_o&hl=en&sa=X&ei=OYbSU4jHE6LB7AbD-YCIDw&ved=0CCIQ6AEwATge#v=onepage&q=%22spaceman%20patterson%22&f=false New York Times: Confirms that he wrote the score for the film ''Fastpitch'', http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=UNeTAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA97&dq=%22spaceman+patterson%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=WIbSU7qOMaqO7QbM4oH4CQ&ved=0CCIQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22spaceman%20patterson%22&f=false another book confirming his work with Miles Davis, http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Wp-Xc4lMnRUC&pg=PA66&dq=%22spaceman+patterson%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=WIbSU7qOMaqO7QbM4oH4CQ&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22spaceman%20patterson%22&f=false Book: Producer on Melvin van Peebles ''Ghetto Gothic'' album, http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=34uu189sV_oC&pg=PA121&dq=%22spaceman+patterson%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=WIbSU7qOMaqO7QbM4oH4CQ&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22spaceman%20patterson%22&f=false anothert book, http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-AkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA93&dq=%22spaceman+patterson%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=WIbSU7qOMaqO7QbM4oH4CQ&ved=0CEEQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=%22spaceman%20patterson%22&f=false Billboard: confirms production on ''Ghetto Gothic''. These were just the first ones that came up in a GBooks search. I'm not suggesting these are 'significant' coverage, but per  we would need to look at all of the available sources on the subject (searching also on 'Billy "Spaceman" Patterson' and 'William "Spaceman" Patterson') to see if the subject is notable enough for an article

Comment: Admittedly  he has ''worked'' with  a number of notable artists but none of the sources provide in-depth coverage - the mentions are fleeting  at  best. This is an article (if one could call it that) about  a musician who has apparently neither made a chart listed solo  release, nor  made a concert tour, nor received any  awards, nor independently made a significant  impact  on  the music scene. A plethora of such  sources does not  notability  make. Fails , and the article is, as  per nominator, a blatant  self promo per  and .    Not  averse to  stubbing  to  the first  sentence if, and only  if, some substantial  sources ''about''  the subject  can be found,  but  I  can't  see regular Wikipedia editors spending  time salvaging  it, so  otherwise, yes:
