Talk:Nick Pitera

Page recreation

I'm going to go ahead and recreate a stub article for Nick Pitera. Based on coverage in media outlets since 2008, this Living Person is clearly notable, and meets Wikipedia inclusion requirements. Cheers. —N2e (talk) 20:58, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops. Did not realize this page was protected from re-creation, and will need an Admin to remove the protection. I will initiate that process.

In the meantime, here is one major media source that will illustrate notability long after the three article deletions in 2008, which I have also noted below, for the record.

recent source: Aidin Vaziri, San Francisco Chronicle Pop Music Critic, covers Pitera in a May 2011 article.

Nick Pitera

Based on coverage in mainline media outlets since 2008 (when three deletions of this page were done), this Living Person is clearly notable. I have added one source, from the Pop Music Critic at the San Francisco Chronicle, on the Nick Pitera Talk page. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have no connection whatsoever with this musical artist. I had just read about the guy in several places and was surprised Wikipedia had no article on the guy (with multiple albums and coverage in notable media), when Wikipedia has music-related articles on half the garage bands that ever released 50 copies of a self-burned CD. Would appreciate administrator review. Cheers. N2e (talk) 21:20, 13 February 2012 (UTC) N2e (talk) 21:20, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks reasonable to me. Usually drv asks for a draft to remove creation protection, but there was never an afd and the a7s were long enough ago that I think this can be dispensed with. 74.74.150.139 (talk) 22:34, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
remove create protection Not sure why the nominator thought it necessary to engage in hyperbole, but I would advise to refrain from doing that in the future. I find it quite annoying. Looking past that, I see no problems with recreation as independent sources have been presented on the talkpage, adressing the initial reason for deletion and salting (a7 speedies).

Remove protection - reasonable request. --He to Hecuba (talk) 12:27, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Remove create protection. Valid sources presented by a non-COI editor are more than enough to justify removing protection when the last deletion was an A7 over three years ago. Alzarian16 (talk) 19:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stub article started

With the PageCreation protection removed, I will shortly start a simple, but well-sourced, stub article on Nick Pitera. This vocalist is clearly notable, per Wikipedia BLP criteria. The article can then be expanded by other editors per normal editing processes. Cheers. N2e (talk) 05:00, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
