Procedural nomination. Speedy tagged and contested (speedy tag was removed). Up for consideration by wider wikipedia community. -- VS talk 02:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, doesn't appear to meet WP:MUSIC. If reliable sources can be provided to back up his "regular playing" in Iceland, then he might just meet criteria #4 of it though.  Lankiveil (complaints 03:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete I'm not even sold by the playing in Iceland, just because it's so vague about the nature of it. If he has a musical acquaintance in Iceland and guests on a concert date, it's not the same as an international concert tour under #4. The only other shot at WP:MUSIC that he really has is with his albums, but no label information means no basis for evaluation on #5.  Sing  Cal  21:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment—In searching a library database of newspaper and magazine articles, all I have found are two mentions in the Portland Press Herald: Bowen Staines achieved "honors" in grade eight at Berwick Academy in 2000, and "honors" in grade nine in 2001. Not sure what happened after that... :) -- Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 23:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
