Jim Cara[edit]

This article was previously deleted on 6 February 2009 for failing Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The article has since been rewritten, so WP:CSD#G4 does not apply. On 28 September 2009, the article was created, and the creator, Hotrod2hell (talk · contribs) wrote on the talk page:

“

the past pages had way too many insignifigant items about Jim Cara who is greatly recognized as one of the only Guitar Hot Rodders in the world. By pairing it down and only including what is important and by supplying you with only two very good references, we hope that this article will be considered for what is truly worthy content without fluff

”

However, notability has not been established. The first reference is insufficient because it consists solely of an interview, and so fails WP:MUSICBIO #1: "Any reprints of press releases [and] other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves" cannot be considered significant coverage. The second source, a YouTube video is not a reliable source. The remaining links in the article (1, 2, 3, and 4) are websites related to the subject's music career, and thus are not independent of him.

A Google News Archive search returns no relevant sources.

In summary, this article should be deleted because it fails Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) and Wikipedia:Verifiability. Cunard (talk) 07:47, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt. Per nom. Reywas92^Talk 17:01, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - sources are severely lacking and thus it does not appear to satisfy notability guidelines. Additionally, the "we" in the creator's quoted statement is worrisome--is that account used by multiple people? Cocytus [»talk«] 23:20, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
