Autobiography with insufficient evidence of notability. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:15, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment An impressively created article, but possibly not sufficient notability. The core of notability here is the coverage that proves it, and I'm afraid the references here aren't worth tuppence. Referring to an edit summary by the author (who appears to be the subject), no, we're not saying it's not true. There is a lot that is true but which doesn't get into an encyclopaedia. Merely existing isn't excuse for an article. If better referencing appears (but I feel from the said summary that the author was having difficulties), then there is more chance of survival. If not, there is always the chance of return when the references are found. Good luck. Peridon (talk) 09:48, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete no matter how well-written an article is, if there are no reliable independent sources, we have no idea if it's accepted as a notable phenomenon or if it's just someone's promotional piece to get more google hits. Does not meet the WP:GNG. Vcessayist (talk) 00:31, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * comment there is this "Darrow represents the burgeoning trend of artist-turned-blogger", but that is a single source. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  17:24, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
