Autobiography, all references to date are created by the author/subject. Fails WP:MUSIC by a long way (16 year old with no released work). If the music aspects were reduced to an appropriate level, there might be sufficient notability for an article as NZ Irish dance champion (given sufficient reliable sources) dramatic (talk) 22:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete without prejudice, agree with the nom that the Irish dancing bits might be notable if sourced, even if the music clearly is not. Jclemens (talk) 23:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unless reliable and third party sources are provided. I would not accept a source from the organisation which runs Irish dance in New Zealand, since I have concerns that the dance competition itself is non notable.- gadfium 06:23, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. non-notable at the moment. Think Dance champion is also not sufficient. Wait until music is released, or something else is achieved.Yobmod (talk) 11:54, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I admit that the lack of recordings doesn't help. I would like it noted that there is some problems with recording, but this will be resolved within the next three months (hopefully). I know this doesn't change that fact that the music isn't there, but it is coming. Drkshadowmaster Contributions Talk Page 07:57, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Ok, so 1) you're the page creator, nice to see you here, but it would have been polite for you to disclose that, and 2) there's still nothing in the page that shows me that it has merit to be kept. If you want it kept, add a link to newspaper articles or clearly independent non-user-edited websites documenting the dancing or music bits. Jclemens (talk)
 * My appologies for not saying I am the author. On regards to non-user-edited websites, I have listed the TIDA website, which I have no input into the editation of Drkshadowmaster Contributions Talk Page 07:49, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment The reference indicates that you are just one of a couple of dozen of age-group champions. If TID is considered as a competitive sport, this would be below the threshold of notability in any other sport. I agree that external media coverage would be required to demonstrate notability of the competition. dramatic (talk) 01:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Surely any National competition is notable, whether there is a media coverage or not. Drkshadowmaster Contributions Talk Page 07:50, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:N – lack of independent third-party coverage. I've tried to find some sources, in Google News archives, and in a library database of newspaper articles, but have found none. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 01:12, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
