Autobiographical self-promotional article written entirely by SPAs (who are all clearly socks/meats of each other; listed below). Voceditenore has gamely given it a massive cleanup, but it still doesn't have any notability, even with her searching for more info. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO; the only significant coverage seems to be five sentences here: [1]. (The Nickel City Opera bio is not at all reliable or independent.) See also discussion here: WT:WikiProject Opera#Need eyes on two articles.

• Added article Matthias Daniel Manasi to the list of articles to be included in the AfD. It was created by one of the alleged Socks listed below. reddogsix (talk) 03:11, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• This new one should be speedily deleted per WP:A10 (recently created duplicate of an existing topic). The text is identical to this version of Matthias Manasi. Voceditenore (talk) 06:16, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I have been unable, despite extensive searches, to find a single article about this German conductor/pianist or a single review of his work. Note that the link cited above with the five sentences about him [2] is not an independent source. It is a blurb on the website of the orchestra for whom he was conducting part of a concert. The subject fails WP:GNG and also fails the alternative criteria at WP:MUSICBIO. There is no significant recording career. The one listed in the article (where he plays the harpsichord on an opera recording, but was not the conductor), is the only one I could find. He has won no prizes (significant or otherwise).

• Note to closing admin: Given the absurd persistence of the COI SPA sockfarm, both article titles should probably be salted if this AfD results in deletion. Softlavender (talk) 07:41, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I concur on the salting. Note also that given the latest shenanigans, I have started an SPI. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ArtistForum. Voceditenore (talk) 08:41, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
