Bryn Davies (musician)

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

Apparently entirely non-notable beyond playing with a few notable artists; primary website is MySpace page. MyGrassIsBlue (talk) 05:14, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. Lots of articles with brief discussion of her work (e.g.  ("A-list bassist Bryn Davies (best known for her work with Peter Rowan, Tony Rice and Patty Griffin)"),  ("Special kudos to standup bass player Bryn Davies, whose contributions gave the numbers a lovely depth and resonance.",  ("Bryn Davies, in addition to sweet harmony vocals, has blossomed into a predominant upright bassist. "))  More in-depth, but possibly still not "non-trivial" is .  However, I think the net effect of all these articles (there are plenty more out there) add up to enough to keep this.

 * If your primary website is your MySpace, you're not 'notable'. Lots of musicians out there, but that does not translate to them all deserving Wikipedia entries. MyGrassIsBlue (talk) 13:38, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as notability has not been establish ed. If above references are incorporated into the article I will consider their merit and might opine differently. Boston (talk) 03:18, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete JulesH's sources are only trivial mentions, and no other sources found. Note, however, that some artists can be notable without having websites. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:15, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment – Hang on; I'm finding some sources. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 23:38, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep – She has received press as part of several bands: Billy & Bryn Bright, the Two High String Band, Peter Rowan as the Texas Trio. I've added now a bunch of references, articles from newspapers from the US and Canada. There's enough for WP:N notability, I believe, since these are not trivial mentions of her.

 * Relisting comment: A large number of sources have been added since the last delete !vote. Relisting so the discussion can focus on the article as it currently stands.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  02:09, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Meh. Most of the sources are about the band, not the musician. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 03:14, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you mean by "the band"—there are three different bands. And, according to WP:N there is not a requirement that coverage be exclusive, just that it is not trivial. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 04:26, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


 * You're right, I meant "bands", plural. In that case, weak keep per sources, seems to be borderline. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 05:13, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep now that proper efforts have been applied. Boston (talk) 09:03, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
