Despite what appears to be an impressive article t seems to me that most of it is puffery and that the gentleman is not as notable as he believes he is - always a drawback to creating articles on one's self, discovering that one may well not be notable after all. The references do not seem to me to pass WP:RS and I do not believe that this is a truly notable musician. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 00:54, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

  • week keep - Guarini is notable musician in Italy (I'm Italian), but I can see the puffery too. The proposed bio is just a cut&paste from Guarini's personal web-site and the proposed article is rising even more confusion because is pointing to the wrong Goblin page; actually, Goblin rock band is pretty much famous in Europe and Guarini is a former member of the present line-up. I think that the page is worth keeping, but only if it undergoes a deep editing from a NPOV. Toffanin (talk) 15:36, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

:*Thank you for pointing out the copyright violation. I have now fagged the article for speedy deletion as a blatant copyright violation. There shoudl be no obstacle to re-creation assuming notability can be established and verified. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 18:25, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
