Deletion of Michael Blakey (music producer)

Comment: I can't find a single reliable third party source that would pass muster for  or . A lot of the things he has worked on are notable, there is no *significant* coverage of him independent of listing him as a contributor to other plausibly notable works, and |notability is not inherited. Having said that, a http://www.latimes.com/business/realestate/la-hmw-hotpropblakey12-2008dec12-story.html LA Times Article about the sale of his house notes that Modern Drummer Magazine once sang his praises, but this seems to be regurgitated from trivia on his IMDB page. If that source really exists, I think that might change my mind, but I suspect the IMDB contributor is confusing him with Art Blakey

Comment: I have had the chance to assess this now. I'm surprised it wasn't speedily deleted as recreation of tosh deleted at AFD, but we're past that now. This is  backed by . It is not salvageable because the subject fails  and all other notability guidelines. Like the first incarnation it is a vanity piece. I'm sure he's a very fine chap, but he misses our criteria

Comment: This article should not be deleted because: 1. It doesn't fall under any of the Wikipedia reasons for deletion in Wikipedia:Deletion policy, 2. It meets the relevant Wikipedia:Notability (music) requirements, e.i. falls under criteria 8 and 10 in Criteria for musicians and ensembles, as well as criterion 1 in Criteria for composers and lyricists in . Namely, AllMusic lists him as a musician (drummer)https://www.allmusic.com/artist/michael-blakey-mn0000885336 on such famous records as ''Will to Power'' by Tidal Force and ''I'll Be There'' by Gloria Gaynor. He is also given credit as a composer on numerous famous records by the same music directoryhttps://www.allmusic.com/artist/michael-blakey-mn0000885336 3.

Comment: I can't at the present but will seek intervention and closing. We also have SPA's and "sleeper editors" (whatever those are referred to as) that has made nine edits since 2014 with five related to this subject. Removing good faith maintenance tags, especially covertly, can be considered isruptive editing|disruptive and warrant sanctions. Not that sleeper editors would mind because they likely have more dormant accounts that can be used. This AFD has been inundated with these kinds of new editors and at best can hope for confusion and a "no consensus" decision but closing admins can see through this. If anyone would like to revert to a previous timeline and undo any either inadvertant or meant to happen edits that is against policy I will support it. Anyone else that would like to ask for adnib help please go for it
