Doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG independently. I redirected it to Ocean Colour Scene, but this was reverted by IP with no reason given. Boleyn (talk) 08:37, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Arfæst! 19:36, 2 January 2015 (UTC) Added additional references to Andy Bennett's earlier career with the band he formed "the elements" the band were signed to Acid Jazz Records and released an album that charted in the indie charts. The song caught in a storm of that album reached the top ten of the indie charts as well as the album reaching the top ten. I have also added the information on where Bennett is mentioned in the essential rock discography. Written by martin c strong. Hopefully these two pieces of information will be enough to prevent the article from being deleted. I would appreciate a message if this is not enough and I will endeavour to add as much additional information as I can. Regards Alfie Mahone Alfiemahone1991 (talk) 15:21, 3 January 2015 (UTC) Comment Thanks for contributing,. I'm assuming you're the Alfie Mahone who is a colleague of Andy Bennett (according to article)? Boleyn (talk) 00:27, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * No I'm not a colleague of his I'm simply a part time musician who is aware of him and his work. Do you now feel that this additional information is enough to keep the article online. Kind regards Alfie Mahone 94.11.54.158 (talk) 17:25, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I feel that Bennett's page should remain on the grounds that some of the other members of Ocean Colour scene are of more Dubious notability then him he has at least written material himself with his own band that has sucessfully charted in the indie charts and recieved critical acclaim.

 * The others are also tagged for notability, but your argument is that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and that isn't an accepted arugment at AfD, Boleyn (talk) 13:01, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

No but the second criteria is for notability is that they have had an album which has featured in any music chart for a country which Bennett has which can be mentioned on several websites two of Which are linked to on his page and he was also signed to a major music label that label being acid jazz and released an album under that label. He also wrote and recorded the song old pair of jeans featured on the Saturday album Which reached the top 40 in the UK album charts so all of those factors should be significant evidence for his page to remain. In light of these new additions would appreciate another senior editor of Wikipedias opinion.
