Robin Watson

Cannot verify the claims of notability made in this article (I seriously doubt he ever played with The Beatles and Led Zeppelin). Google is only showing up Wikipedia mirrors thus article fails to establish notability in accordance with Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines. No Allmusic.com entry. More than likely a hoax. JamesBurns 06:47, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Hmm. It does sound like nonsense, and I can't verify it either. There's also a copy on simple:, and it looks like there was a copy on de: and eo: at one time (according to the history). And another user added him to the paradiddle article. So probably delete, but I'll also ask User:Zanimum what's going on... sjorford →•← 22:44, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Yes, I'm sorry. Delete. I was essentially trying to show a friend how quickly Wikipedia deletes rubbish. When the community didn't delete the article, I decided to let it ride. Eventually, I simply forgot about it. I'm very sorry, and I promise to never do this sort of experiment again. I don't see why you'd even "BJAODN it", it's just an experiment that lasted well beyond itself. -- user:zanimum
  • I just tried to delete it myself, it said: "Can't delete this article because it contains new block-compressed revisions, which are not supported by the new selective undelete feature and could result in data loss if deletion and undeletion happened. This is a temporary situation which the developers are well aware of, and should be fixed within a month or two. Please mark the page for deletion, protect the page and wait for a software update to allow normal deletion. If there is an actual complaint from a copyright holder or other suitable legal complaint and they are unwilling to accept page blanking and protection as a temporary measure, please ask a developer for assistance." -- user:zanimum
    • OK, I've marked it for pending deletion. sjorford →•← 10:12, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
