There is a lack of in depth references allowing the subject to pass WP:N. Sikonmina ( talk) 06:05, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete: When a Google search for the label turns up the usual suspects: the Soundcloud site, the Discogs site, the Rateyourmusic site, YouTube, etc., you expect what you get from a search of Maniatis: this article as the top hit, his Linkedin page, his Instagram page, his Facebook page, his Twitter feed -- all the hallmarks of NN. Only coverage is fleeting namedrops in strictly local sources. Utterly fails the GNG, as well as WP:CREATIVE, and obvious
WP:COI/vanity issues with article creator
User:Alexmaniatis, an SPA whose sole Wikipedia activity this article was. The
deprodder deserves a trout slap for this mindbending deprod.

- Are boomerang-shaped trouts available? In defence of
Curbon7, the deprod was because the rationale ("article relies on a single reference") implied deletion based on current sourcing, not on available sources, which should have been checked. But having said that, Maniatis seems to have about as much source as an unsauced trout, so delete is a reasonable outcome.

- As you said, it was a technical de-PROD bc of a flawed rationale. That doesn't mean I disagree with the PROD, to the point that I will say delete, as there is an exceptional lack of sources available on the subject. Curbon7 ( talk) 21:25, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
- Deprodding for the sake of deprodding is a waste of everyone's time, especially since with thirty seconds' worth of examination, one can readily see that this is the sort of uncontroversial deletion that's the very point of having the PROD process in the first place.

- For future reference, the best thing to do when encountering a {{ PROD}} on an article that should be deleted uncontroversially but the reason is inadequately explained is to use a {{ PROD2}} template. Phil Bridger ( talk) 12:05, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
