Proposed deletion of Grouch (NZ)

The article Grouch (NZ) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Speedy deletion nomination of Grouch (NZ)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Grouch (NZ), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

I deleted your article because

• it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. I noticed that you removed a prod notice of an unsource biography twice without fixing this issue, which doea not look like good faith editing. There was no verifiable indication of how he satisfies our music notability criteria as linked above.
• the article was full of photographs that were copright iviolations, they were removed automatically by a bot
• it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: His music style varies from track to track often containing many influences within one song. From Drum and Bass to Dub to Progressive and psychedelic Trance, Mid Tempo Dubstep to Techno, House music to Hip Hop and Ambient, he has never limited himself to only genre... start of many returning tours... Becoming a household name... he set off on a world tour starting in Europe which lasted nearly four years... his name quickly grew to become one of the headlining attractions at most major psychedelic music festivals all around the world.
• You added links to social media, which is promotional and not permitted

Basically it's unreferenced spam.
