Elliott Berry
Speedy delete for non-notable bio contested by article creator. Listing in AFD. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 02:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: around 16 years old, no significant notability or significant syndication. --Hetar 02:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete (as one of the people who tagged it for speedy). Teenage musician with a myspace page. Per the talk page, he has recorded a CD, which is not the same thing as releasing a CD. Fan-1967 02:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete &mdash; non-notable for bio. (WP:BIO) &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 03:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete and retagged; fails to assert musical notability. NawlinWiki 03:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Elliott Berry has released a CD, which was sold on an indie record label throughout Tucson, Arizona. He has been featured in the Arizona Star. Both these instances make him notable -- he is recognizable to a large community. -- Cat Shelter, 7/31
 * Comment Please review the guidelines at WP:MUSIC. Has he "released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels"? Has he "been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media"? All claims for Wikipedia articles must be Verifiable from Reliable Sources. What is the indie label that released this CD? Even the smallest indie label has a webpage somewhere. How did he manage to release an album, "Ghost at the Disco", which is not mentioned anywhere on the web (totally fails Google and Yahoo search)? Fan-1967 13:32, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, no WP:RS indicating that subject meets WP:MUSIC. -- Kinu t /c  17:16, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Elliott Berry has been written about in both The Tucson Weekly, and The Arizona Star, both of which should be available online. -- Cat Shelter
 * Then find the article links, so that people can judge whether they constitute "multiple non-trivial published works". Others won't find them for you. Fan-1967 13:05, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The ideal AFD participant, a status which I aspire towards on average about once a day, will attempt that research. They may or may not succeed even when the results are out there.  GRBerry 22:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Nothing shows up in a google search combining the name with either paper. Fan-1967 01:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * They mave have been deleted, as that was about two years ago. Do you want me to send you paper copies?!? Geez. -- Cat Shelter
 * Comment If there's been no coverage in the last two years, that's not a good sign. Fan-1967 13:45, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, non-notable.The Tucson Weekly, and The Arizona Star should not be considered reliable sources. --TheM62Manchester 13:47, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete no evidence of notability to WP:MUSIC standards. GRBerry 13:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
