proposed article

edit

Following is a proposed article for one of Sean Kelly's bands, "Crash Kelly". The Crash Kelly article was previously deleted for notability reasons, but this version attempts (perhaps unsuccesfully) to assert notability by showing that the band has toured extensively and has released an album. Unaware of the speedy deletion policy regarding reposts of previously deleted articles, I later tried to repost this version (oops and sorry). If the article does happen to get undeleted, this version is perhaps suitable as an update:

"""Crash Kelly is a Canadian indie glam rock band founded by musician Sean Kelly. The band is currently signed with the Los Angeles based Liquor and Poker Music label.

Crash Kelly features Sean Kelly on lead guitar and lead vocals, Allister Thompson on guitar and backing vocals, Jordan Michael Stewart on bass guitar and backing vocals, and Kevin Taylor on drums. The band released its debut album, Penny Pills, on January 25, 2005, and has toured across Canada, the United States, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and Holland [1]. A sophomore album is planned for release in spring of 2006.

The band is named after Sean's uncle, Orville "Crash" Kelly, who earned the nickname in the 1950s as an aggressive player for the Johnstown Jets. The Jets were a semi-professional hockey club which has since been replaced by the Johnstown Chiefs.

Let the article stand up to the AfD decision before you decide to keep undoing my edits. No hard feelings though, I do see your POV :) But, who says there's no more than one Sean Kelly in existence ... ? Sean 06:01, 2 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Dispute

edit

The dispute is simple. This article is edited by it's subject and violated WP:AUTO. Ardenn 06:54, 2 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

It is assumed, not proven, that the article is edited by its subject. The dispute is whether it is coincidence that my user name (and real name) and the name of this article's subject (Sean Kelly) are one and the same. Sean 06:58, 2 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
It can be asserted back and forth whether I am the article's subject; it cannot be proven either way. Perhaps a neutral third party could be bold and rewrite the article themselves from a NPOV if the article is deemed biased or unverifiable ... although I truly believe that the article as it stands is factual.
