Deletion of Léo Costa (Musician)

Comment: I am extremely concerned at the level of |bad faith shown by some of our editors relating to this page. We are struggling with new editor retention and one sure fire way to scare them off is to hammer them and their articles with multiple warnings as soon as they put up their first articles. This article has been on Wikipedia for 2 days and has been subjected to two CSD nominations, neither of which were valid (A1, A7), had references removed to restore a BLP-PROD (!) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=L%C3%A9o_Costa_(Musician)&diff=566336727&oldid=566336668 and has been tagged as a hoax... when it's clear from a simple google search of "Leo Costa Everlast" that he is indeed a professional drummer who has played with Everlast. Looking at the article, it's painfully obvious that it has been written by an inexperienced editor who doesn't know the ins and outs of WP policy. In situations like these, it is usually more appropriate to help to improve the article if possible and to provide mentorship, rather than ganging up on them and smacking them down for daring to write a WP article
