I went to try to add references to this BLP, I'm not an expert in the area but couldn't find any reliable sources - which makes me worry about notability. &mdash; Rod talk 20:56, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete although the article appears sourced, the items linked do not stand for the propositions asserted. For example, for the 2007 award at the Surrey Film Festival it links to a Surrey Film Festival website that doesn't have 2007 festival information. Surely if he is notable there should be coverage in reliable secondary sources. The Moth (band) article that is linked is not Henderson's band, but an American one.  Nothing found linking Ben Henderson with Moth or Boa in Lexis/Nexis news search. --Bejnar (talk) 03:53, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per Benjar. I went in to the article and checked the references, with the same result. Evalpor (talk) 01:19, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. I have corrected the surrey film festival award link now. Its here. Close the Door has indeed won the best animation award in the festival. But i am not able to tell how Henderson is connected with the film as the award winner is listed as "Sean Phelan".--Sodabottle (talk) 05:02, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Thank you for correcting the link, Sodabottle. According to Henderson's myspace blog, Tuesday, May 29, 2007 Sean Phelan was enlisted to help make the Close the Door music video by Ben Henderson who scripted the video, and created the animation and models and the music for the video along with Tina Henderson. There is an inactive USA band called Moth that are not to be confused with the working UK band Moth. I have created a basic Moth uk page to avoid ambiguity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cubinoid (talk • contribs) 20:39, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete unless some sources are found that demonstrate notability. I can't see any independent reliable coverage or any evidence that he meets WP:MUSIC. Even if there's a reliable source that he won the award, I'm not sure that it counts as a major award. Also, looks like User:Cubinoid has a conflict of interest based on Henderson's myspace address and the Youtube channel.-- Beloved Freak  23:03, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Re: above. Apologies, I was merely thanking Sodabottle for verifying and fixing the link. I didn't realize that making a comment would be a conflict of interest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.0.213.178 (talk) 00:16, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No, you're perfectly free to comment here and can argue for the article to be kept if you want. I was referring to the fact that you seem to be connected to the subject of the article, and therefore have a conflict of interest in creating the article.-- Beloved Freak  10:42, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
