The result was no consensus. However, I don't feel confortable leaving this large but poorly sourced article in mainspace so I'm going to send it to the incubator. Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Lovari Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:16, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lovari

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article on entertainer of dubious notability. Has been deleted several times at this title and as Lovari (entertainer). Asserts notability by "having received multiple awards". Whether these awards are really notable though, is for this AfD to decide. (Not a G4 repost because this is substantially expanded.) Kimchi.sg (talk) 04:48, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree: Lovari page should not be deleted.

After reviewing several online sources, I have come to the conclusion that all information is correct and viable. The following links will verify this informaiton:

just a wee note: 1st link is just a track list. no one doubts the existence of this person's album. 2nd link is a reprint of the press release - it even includes the contact info of the hired promoter. 3rd link is a solicited review; the reviewer discloses that the album was received for promo purposes. 4th link is a blog. none of the links are actually "journalism." none of the awards received are notable in and of themselves.

There's an article about him in the Queens Tribune [1]. This verifies his chart hit on a Portland radio station, and a number of his acting roles. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 01:22, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
