 * Delete Not notable and dubious. Has been tagged since Dec 2008 looking for sources. No sources can be found.  Searched Google Books and even Amazon.com.  This article could be a hoax.  --HighKing (talk) 23:58, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom Fmph (talk) 12:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per High King - 2 people? Neither notable if so. Or hoax? Johnbod (talk) 16:03, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Lots of material available on internet about this person (most of it is in Spanish). Proposer has tragetted article simply because it contains the words British Isles. Mister Flash (talk) 17:53, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * You've been warned several times before on making personal comments. Your Talk page is a testament to your blatant disregard to civility and other editors, and our collective patience is all but gone.  If you continue in this vein, you can expect to find yourself at (yet another) ANI, and this time you will in all likelyhood receive a permanent block.  You have been warned.  --HighKing (talk) 18:59, 22 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. This is clearly not a hoax, so let's get this on track as a discussion about notability, rather than editor behaviour. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:36, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No mention there of the career in "Linguistic Archaeology Work"! Johnbod (talk) 20:19, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * But it does show that the whole article can't be considered a hoax. Again, let's concentrate on notability rather than claims from one side of hoaxing or from the other side about this nomination being related to the use of a particular name for a group of islands in north-western Europe.

 * Delete. It's a hoax, and most of the article is pure fiction. The cited book with ISBN 978-0-306-40615-7 doesn't exist, for example, and that ISBN actually refers to something else. In fact, his name doesn't appear in Google Books at all. Fails WP:BLP. -- Radagast3 (talk) 00:05, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Whether or nor it is a hoax it does not have enough sources for notability. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:57, 23 March 2010 (UTC).
 * Not enough? It has exactly one, which says "Dalinda is featured in ... Colin Rivas's track 'Ay Dalai'" and links to an mp3 file. So yes, there is a musician called Colin Rivas, but it's impossible to disentangle the factual and fictional parts of the article. -- Radagast3 (talk) 11:25, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * One is not enough. Xxanthippe (talk) 11:59, 23 March 2010 (UTC).
 * I think we're in agreement. -- Radagast3 (talk) 13:26, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * We are indeed. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:31, 23 March 2010 (UTC).
