Hi Knytil, it doesn't seem to be the case that Knút Háberg Eysturstein meets the notability criteria. Has this person been the subject of published, secondary source material? Also, is this a self-biography? I just wanted to let you know first and hopefully discuss this before I start the deletion process. -- Ships at a Distance ( talk) 03:55, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
I have nominated Knút Háberg Eysturstein, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Knút Háberg Eysturstein. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! -- SineBot ( talk) 23:46, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Now that you started signing your messages, I see that the WP login name is the same as that of the DJ alias--so it's you. Well, congrats on the albums and the nice review from Rambles. (It may well be that that review can tip the balance to your advantage.) I went to work on your article and cleaned it up. You may not like what I did, but it's more in line with WP standards, and it stands a better chance of survival, IMO. The bottom is still that there are standards for notability (in WP:N), and everything relies on reliability (see WP:RS). In my opinion, allmusic does not count--and considering the wording of the bio there, that is probably submitted by someone close to the article, *ahem*. What might help is the tour in 2006, what would help even more is newspaper articles--the Faroe Islands aren't that big, surely someone wrote about Knút Háberg Eysturstein, no? What would also help is to tone it down in the discussion; you're not doing yourself any favors by being antagonistic, esp. not since you're the creater, and really esp. not since you're also the subject--that's a WP:COI concern. WP attempts to be more than a blog; some of us take this seriously. The more someone acts like they're being mistreated, the less sympathetic editors become--it's a fact of life, and not just here. We (well, most of us) have no intention of f***ing people, and if some articles slip by, well, there's almost 3 million articles. That other stuff exists on Wikipedia is not relevant. Good luck.

Hello Drmies,
Thanks for the attempt to clean up the article, but apparently it was deleted so I didn't get the chance to see the changes made. It was never "up for editing" but "up for deletion", so that's that then. Off course you're all just doing your best to maintain WP, more power to ya!( Knytil ( talk) 08:16, 18 January 2009 (UTC))
