Andrew Allen (musician)

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

No, he's not internationally known for that album he made : Googling for the combination of it, him brings zero (0) hits independent of this article. Oo7565 (talk) 18:26, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. He has won an award, though I don't belive it counts as a major one, and has received some local coverage , but this isn't enough. If further coverage is found, it may be keepable, but at the moment he appears to fail WP:MUSIC.--Michig (talk) 18:39, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Google Chrome is failing me. Who are the judges? If there's one thing I learned is that an award is only as notable as the organization giving it out...- Mgm|(talk) 20:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * There are awards and music competitions that are clearly 'major awards', such as Grammy's, Brit awards, MOBO awards, etc., and there are awards that clearly are not major awards, e.g. the Chesterfield King's Arms Battle of the Bands Competition (I made that one up). Others are somewhere in between. I've never heard of the BCIMAs, and there is no article here about the awards, but then again it's probably the case that I've never heard of most things, and there are plenty of notable topics that don't have articles here. The BCIMAs appear to be 'local' awards (though the 'locality' has a population of over 4 million, so is potentially larger than some 'national' awards), so may not be enough to constitute notability on their own, and the fact that I've only heard of one of the award winners (I am unfortunately familiar with Daniel Powter) suggests to me that the BCIMAs don't cut it. It would be helpful if WP:MUSIC could include a list of all awards that are considered major awards - I doubt that it would be a huge list.--Michig (talk) 21:59, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not meet notability standards for musicians. (I originally PRODded this article.) - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:47, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. It wasn't just Google Chrome, with IE7 I still can't see any of the pages from the site. I therefore cannot establish who gives out these awards and therefore not establish notability of the award, which is the guy's only claim to fame. Opening for someone famous, doesn't make someone notable. You'd need something near equal billing. - Mgm|(talk) 09:20, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
