This discussion was subject to a deletion review on 2008 October 27. For an explanation of the process, see Wikipedia:Deletion review. |
The result was delete. Between canvassing and a significant amount of change to the article, this was a tough AfD to close. However, after having examined the article, the purported "sources", and the arguments presented here, I'm forced to agree with Amalthea and DGG. The "sources" in the article are in the main self-published and/or unreliable, and even at that generally mention the subject only in passing (if, that is, they mention the subject at all, which several do not). This along with at least two of the "keeps" here having been canvassed and one more being an SPA (and AfD being a discussion based on strength of argument, not a vote based on strength of numbers) lead to the result being to delete.

Bruno Massé, an anarchist author, researcher, activist, publisher, musician and lyricist.
I believe that Massé fails the notability guideline for people, WP:BIO, WP:CREATIVE, WP:MUSIC, WP:ACADEMIC. In particular, I find no significant coverage about him, his academic work, research and papers have not "made significant impact in their scholarly discipline" that I can find, his books are not "significant or well-known work", neither are his plays, and "The Bloody Band" fails WP:MUSIC.
The article has a high number of references since I discussed notability with the author at Talk:Bruno Masse before, but I'm afraid that they too don't amount to significant coverage by far. The best of those I think is a radio interview (in French) by CHOQ-FM.
He sure is versatile and very active, but at this point fails the inclusion criteria for biographies. AmaltheaTalk 14:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
