John Stein

John Stein -- previously on VfD/copyvio, as it's a copy of a bio on johnstein.com, but a comment on the talk page indicates Mr. Stein submitted it himself. As far as I can tell, he is a relatively poorly-known jazz musician, and I am unable to verify the majority of the information in his biography. Seems a bit self-aggrandizing on the whole. --Delirium 02:29, Oct 23, 2003 (UTC)
- Keep. Google turned up this and the other hits suggest there's merit to this one, even if it needs work. I'm inclined to trust unverifiable personal career details from the primary source individual. At least, for this one, so far.:) JamesDay 13:19, 23 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Was tagged {delete}, but, since it has survived copyvio and VfD, I don't see how it can be considered a speedy candidate. Given the allmusic info, I couldn't in good conscience take it to VfD again. If someone wants to try, I have no objection, as I don't like the idea of someone creating a self-promotional article, but, while discouraged, I don't think that, alone, makes it deletable.
