Aaron Rintoul

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not quite WP:BIO. Publisher is non-notable and published work has received very little attention.  Ja Ga  talk 02:16, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. I checked Google and nothing reasonable that wasn't already mentioned showed. So really I am voting delete per the nominator; I don't see notability either.  K50   Dude   ROCKS!   05:37, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * There's potential to redirect the name to Sublight Records as a search term. Hiding T 13:35, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Has published works, meets WP:BIO, has clearly asserted notability.

 *  Weak Keep Delete. The subject seems notable, though in this case it's hard to separate reliable sources from the more "blog-like" ones. decltype 14:27, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I felt that he might meet WP:GNG, but I no longer think this is the case. decltype 05:35, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, nothing in the article that suggests this meets the WP:CREATIVE portion of WP:BIO. "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors"? No, the article doesn't say this. " known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique"? No. "created ... significant or well-known work ... which has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews"? No. work either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums"? No. --Dragonfiend (talk) 20:29, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep his published works seem notable enough Dream Focus (talk) 01:21, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean. "Seem notable enough" for what part of our notability guidelines? --Dragonfiend (talk) 06:47, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * keep, role in Sublight Records plus further comics career allows us to inform readers looking for information, a purpose of an encyclopedia, surely. Article is verifiable and neutral. Hiding T 11:24, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll admit to concerns over whether this pushes, um, I'm not sure what we call it now in all good faith. The use of Wikipedia as a marketing tool? Hiding T 15:00, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - having a myspace page does not make you notable. Jack Merridew 15:32, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No but founding a record company which has been named among the top 25 indie record labels of 2006 by XLR8R magazine just might. Hiding T 16:33, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * (1) I'm not sure one mention by XLR8R magazine qualifies as "significant critical attention" per WP:CREATIVE, and (2) that's a better argument for the notability of Sublight Records than that of Aaron Rintoul. -- Ja Ga  talk 19:47, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Depends, really. Certainly it pertains to Sublight Records, but then it also pertains to Rintoul, given Rintoul was interviewed on occasion due to founding Sublight. I certainly think it's a borderline case, I just wanted to make sure the debate was framed along the right level, and that this wasn't just viewed as an article about someone with a myspace page.
