Digsy Deary

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article is mostly copied from this bio and is composed of unsourced and unfounded claims about his connection to Oasis or alleged fame. Unsignificant singer. DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 12:43, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

*Weak Delete. Copyvio edit had left the article as an empty stub with no context at all, so I've edited a bit to provide some info needed to asses it. It looks like the Oasis link is on the level and I've put in a decent cite to back it up. That's not by itself enough for notabillity though, per WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTINHERITED. However, his previous band Cook da books have an article (albeit a pretty thin one with only one citation) so they might have had some notability. His current band 'The Sums' appear to be unsigned. As it stands I think a delete, but if any citations could be dug up around cook da books I could be persueded to keep (with a move to his real name).--ThePaintedOne (talk) 14:04, 11 February 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Merge the mention of "Digsy's Dinner" to Cook da Books and redirect. Member of a notable band who Oasis fans at least are likely to search for here.--Michig (talk) 13:25, 19 February 2011 (UTC)...or maybe even Keep. Deary was also drummer/songwriter in the band Smaller (I'll start an article at some point), which had UK top 75 hits in 1996 and 1997. I've added the relevant information about "Digsy's Dinner" etc. to the Cook da Books album - it's a 'keep' as far as notability is concerned for me, but the amount of verifiable content suggests the merge to Cook da Books is probably the better option.--Michig (talk) 14:33, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. I have started an article for Smaller (despite one source stating that he was the drummer, he was singer/guitarist) - I think maybe keeping this here now as a stub would be the best bet.--Michig (talk) 10:51, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep and Move I think the additional citation and information about the other band puts this over the edge. Article should be moved to his real name though, with probably a redirect from 'Digsy's Diner' as well.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 09:28, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
