 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was If this musician meets the notability guidelines at all, it is only very very barely according to consensus. Therefore, I am closing this debate as having a result of somewhere in between no consensus and delete, and defaulting to delete. NW ( Talk ) 02:11, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Cant find suggnifigant coverage, which leads me to believe that the subject is not notable Tim1357 (talk) 00:51, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Quick search reveals coverage of Anderson's Crayola Lectern project in two articles in Village Voice associated blog, written by noted British music journalist Everett True (previously with Melody Maker and Plan B magazine. There are other Anderson-related reviews from other established publications such as Organ (24-year fixture on underground music scene) noted elsewhere in the article (although some citations could be improved). Subject is a noted musician on the Brighton, UK music scene, a sideman for former Can singer Damo Suzuki and a former/current member of several bands including one (Departure Lounge) with its own Wikipedia article and one (Supermodel) whose former singer also has his own Wikipedia article. This article also combines most of the subject's diverse work and projects into one location, removing any need for smaller articles for said projects. Am currently pursuing archived articles on subject's original band Supermodel. Chris Anderson may not be one of the most famous British musicians featured in Wikipedia, but I would dispute the assertion that he is not notable. - Dann Chinn (talk) 07:41, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. No significant coverage in reliable independent sources to establish notability. Lara  17:36, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No substantial secondary source coverage shows he is not notable. Kevin (talk) 21:55, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * weak keep seems to have some coverage, anyway. ++Lar: t/c 04:06, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep - poorly sourced indeed. Seems largely NN here (per WP:MUSIC) - A l is o n  ❤ 07:19, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. There's some coverage, but not quite enough to establish notability IMO. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 01:49, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
