The author is trying to evade the salting of Brandon Hilton. This might also be recreation of deleted material? Probably not, upon further review.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  03:59, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Note that Hilton's twitter account mentioned his lack of WP article and a fan tweeted back "I'll be fixing that ;D". Just if that has any bearing, since the creator (SkittlesNSpice) and the fan tweeter (@SkittlesNSpice) appear to be the same.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  04:05, 19 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: Well, I've talked with an admin, and he doesn't think that the whole Twitter thing is too big a deal. Without that, I wouldn't have AfD'd this article as quickly as I did, so I'm torn between withdrawing and just letting this play out to get more eyes on it. Anyway, he may or may not fail the WP:GNG, as well as WP:MUSICBIO. Let's see what the 'pedia says, shall we?  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  04:36, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep I strongly feel that this page should have been tagged and not proposed for deletion. People tend to make articles about people/things they like, however as long as the article follows Wikipedia guidelines (esp. regarding neutrality) the practice is acceptable. ~ Don4of4 [Talk] 05:21, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Just to clear things up, I think there are other reason besides its creator that would indicate that this article is not ready. As others have said (not necessarily WP editors), he looks like someone trying to get famous, rather then someone who has actually gotten noticed by others. And yes, neutrality is important, but isn't notability even more so?  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  20:48, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

I do agree however there is not enough information and the person did copy and paste info. I'm going to do some revisions I understand it will not help but I have been asked to make it different YukikoGC [Talk] —Preceding undated comment added 05:31, 19 August 2011 (UTC).

 * Delete No evidence of notability.--GrapedApe (talk) 12:06, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't really care who starts the article, but independent sources are still needed to establish notability. Several Times (talk) 14:25, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Good to see a new author attempting an article, but there are no independent sources, and so I feel fails on general notability. A Google search finds videos posted on youtube, pages on myspace, linkedin etc. and a reference in the Urban Dictionary but nothing reliable or noteworthy.  Maybe the film will boost his profile to the point that someone writes something worthwhile about him, but until then he is not notable. Arnie Side (talk) 15:05, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey, this is SkittlesNSpice. I saw this information on his file on the German wikipedia. No, I did NOT copy paste. The evidence is strong, and if it has been accepted on the German wikipedia then it should be accepted here as well. Also don't get upset just because I made a page before you could. Brandon wanted an English wiki so I made ir. End of story. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.119.76.3 (talk • contribs) 17:22, 19 August 2011
 * Heya Skittles, just so you know, the existence of an article about Hilton of the German WP is no reason for one to be created here.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  20:48, 19 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep: Taste the rainbow. Delete: Completely non-notable. Joe Chill (talk) 23:54, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * And Skittles, I urge you to please read WP:A Primer for newcomers so as to better understand the need for verifiability in reliable sources that we have here. What is done in other Wikipedias is on them. HERE, we have standards upon which we rely. If you come up with news articles and commentary on this fellow, the article might be determined as suitable.  Simple listings of his discography is not the same.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:59, 19 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: I've been talking to User:Brandon Hilton here, so I ask that the article be userfied to his page/space. If nothing else, It'll at least give me time to show him why his article in the current state wouldn't work.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  13:50, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, but Brandon should be encouraged to write about things other than himself. As long as he understands WP:NAU and you yourself assist, I applaud your willingnes to help him.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:46, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
