Pasted from http://marcos-valle.co.tv/ - multiple issues[edit]

This appears to be copied-and-pasted from http://marcos-valle.co.tv/ which raises a few questions:

Does the original author give permission for it to be used in wikipedia?
There's some unverified stuff such as the rather misguided rant about beatboxing (beatboxing is a specific form of vocal percussion, no-one's claiming that beatboxers or Marcos invented the idea of imitating percussion)
The tone isn't right for a wikipedia article, it's too self-promotional
There are no sources cited and we can't establish notability. I don't know this artist - if someone can add citations which demonstrate the notability, that would be helpful.

I've investigated the CV issue and the above source appears to be a reverse copyvio of Wikipedia -- created after the October 2007 expansion of this article. I agree that the large additions of text seem suspicious and could be a possible copyvio, but I have not been able to locate any original source. I have removed the copyvio tag and added a copyvio-unsure to this talk page. As far as the issues of promotional language and lack of references, they need to be addressed. A quick search will show the person will certainly pass notability. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 18:44, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
