Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kim Cascone
The issue is not whether Cascone is an "obscure" composer, or whether he believes that all cells have consciousness.  Consensus among physiologists is that they do not, but with respect to the article in question, the point is moot.  That said, I am not the editor who proposed the deletion, but I see many reasons why it shouldn't be a part of Wikipedia.  What is wrong with this article is simple.  It does not follow standard Wikipedia guidelines regarding Biographies of Living Persons, insofar as it lacks even the barest number of reliable citations.  It is, as of this writing, a collection of external references accompanied by numerous claims which have no substantiating links from reliable news sources.  Plain and simple.  I didn't see anyone disputing Cascone's work with David Lynch; what I witnessed was someone (rightfully) expecting an authenticating citation where none existed.  A single listing on IMDb is not, by Wikipedia's standards, in and of itself a reason to keep the article.  It must both adhere to Wikipedia's strict policy regarding verifiability, including several, independent citations from reputable news sources, and also be written in a style that is NPOV.  As it is now, and as has been pointed out, much of the information in the article cannot be (or has not yet been) reliably sourced, and therefore are in direct violation of Wikipedia's policy.  I'm sure that Kim is a wonderful guy.  That is not the problem here.  This is obviously a vanity article containing a TON of personal information that is, thus far, unverified, and that alone is reason enough for deletion.  Again, refer to Wikipedia's longstanding policy regarding |reliable sources and correct the article.  For now, it's a self-authored biography by a self-proclaimed person of import.  This is not to suggest that Mr.Cascone isn't notable.  Only that his notability has yet to be established in keeping with Wikipedia's well-established protocol.
