Deletion of Stephen Moorer

Comment: as subject meets the  quite easily http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22Stephen+Moorer%22&cf=all.  Any problems with COI or article style and POV are best addressed with cleanup by other editors... not by deletion

Comment: The only "significant coverage" occurs in sources of only local interest to be the county (Monterey County, California|population 400-odd thousand, of which nearly half doesn't consider English to be their mother tongue) and thus not reliable for notability purposes or from non-"independent" sources (the the company's website). Excluding those inappropriate sources, there is nothing approaching "significant coverage". MQS's Google searches do nothing to establish the contrary, nor does the company's or the individual's inclusion in a published |directory

Comment: the article does establish notability of the subject with reliable sourcing that supports position of the subject, which is the criteria here. While the article's creator may or may not be the subject, it appears to treat the subject in a relatively neutral manner, or no less so that the majority of biographies of smaller venue artists. It could use more referencing, but there's no indication of extensive hyperbole. The article has certainly had more than one long term registered username make edits to it. An article possibly begun by the subject doesn't automatically qualify for deletion. Issues with a primary editor on this article, who is far from an  editor http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/count/index.php?name=Smatprt&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/topedits/index.php?name=Smatprt&namespace=0, on other articles doesn't apply or belong here, that's a matter for /I or
