Talk:Matt Monro Jnr

This article was nominated for deletion on 13 January 2012 (UTC). The result of the discussion was no consensus.

This appears to be more of an advertisement than an article of reference. It is poorly written and mostly unsubstantiated. Can anyone at least confirm whether Matt Monro Jnr's act is primarily a tribute act and/or whether he has any personal merit beyond that? Is there anything in WP guidelines that might justify the (to me) ridiculous number of promotional links to external websites? Can anyone provide citations for any of the statements or, at least, give some sort of chronological substance to the numerous events which appear all to be in the present, immediate tense? If not then I'll have to do it myself and the result may well be a two- or three-line entry. Sitush (talk) 01:03, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per the above, I have now started the process of tidying up the article, which seems to me to be based entirely on the content of one website and that is the subject's own promotional website. In fact, until my recent edits huge chunks of it were copied and pasted from that site, in breach of copyright.

I have the horrible feeling that an edit war may be looming but I have been in touch with the only recent contributor via his/her talk page in the hope of avoiding this. Without some help or discussion here, I really can see this ending up as a very short stub indeed, sorry. Sitush (talk) 20:50, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"From that moment he knew he wanted to be a singer"

Not according to an interview published at http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=556898&publicationSubCategoryId=70. In fact, that interview - if it is reliable - debunks quite a lot of the current article content here. Views? Sitush (talk) 21:16, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, the above article is pretty much repeated on his promoter's blog - see http://steveoneal.blogspot.com/2010/03/ill-keep-returing-til-i-find-my.html . Consequently, I am deleting the assertion in the article as it is at best not reliable. Sitush (talk) 21:25, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?

Is there any reliable sourcing showing that Matt Jr is notable in his own right? After all, notability is not inherited!

He does not appear to meet the criteria for Notability for musicians - my suggestion would be that any useful content is moved to his father's article, and then have this article as a redirect to that one. 193.9.4.11 (talk) 15:05, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
