 * Comment footnote 5, from Billboard, mentions neither Merritt nor his band Paperface. Why? Can this be verified? Bearian (talk) 21:47, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: despite the many sources which initially look good, there is no in depth coverage of Merritt by secondary sources to show notability beyond his local area. He also fails the other notability criteria at WP:MUSICBIO, ie hasn't charted, released two or more albums on a major or important independent label, won notable music competition, etc. --JD554 (talk) 08:16, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
