Contested prod, as such taking this to AfD. Subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:PEOPLE, and many (if not all) of the claims lack sourcing for verification. Could not find additional sourcing to help verify claims or to meet notability. Akerans (talk) 23:03, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Apparent vanity article. No obvious notability. Catfish Jim & the soapdish 23:41, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Looking past the peacocking etc, the only attempt at asserting notability I can see is the claim "George Varga of the San Diego Union Tribune did a three page article on Leon's talent showcases." As far as I can tell, this comment refers to [1], which contains only passing mention of Leon Youngblood. Can find no reliable non-trivial sources for the subject. 174.109.198.190 (talk) 02:53, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - George Varga actually interviewed him in connection to one of his 'stars'. It's still not the primary focus of the article, but it's more than trivial coverage too. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 00:41, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Observation. The interview contains two paragraph, out of 18, where he is mentioned. One he quoted in regard to the musician, the other indicates he flew with the musician to a preformance. There is not any attempt to discuss the subject of this article in that Union-Tribune piece. 174.109.198.190 (talk) 03:15, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete - Pure weapons-grade vanispamcruftisement … totally devoid of WP:RS to satisfy WP:GNG. Happy Editing! — 70.21.16.94 (talk · contribs) _{21:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)}[reply]

Comment - I've added WP:RS. It's still a hell of an article but I think he now meets WP:GNG. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 00:39, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable. ScottyBerg (talk) 19:25, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Does anyone else think that I Apologize (album) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) also appears lacking in WP:RS to support WP:NALBUMS? A WP:SPA has been plumping it up with cruft about this AfD's subject. — 70.21.16.94 (talk) 22:41, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
