 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Drummer for a non-notable band. Doesn't seem to meet our criteria for inclusion.  ♪Tempo  di Valse ♪  23:50, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * A7 Only claims are totally unsourced and unverifiable. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 00:15, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm not sure that because the references given (while I admit they're very sloppy) are "totally unsourced and unverifiable." One even gives a page number.  Just because it doesn't have a link, doesn't mean it's unverifiable.  If that were the case, we'd have no use for libraries anymore.  I'll look to see if I can verify these claims online but I would have to assume good faith that the author didn't completely fabricate these references when adding my say either way.  I'll wait until I have more info.  Ol Yeller  Talktome 04:01, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, the article already failed a speedy A7. I don't want to come off as rude but maybe we should let the AfD run its course before trying to see if another admin will overturn the declined speedy decision.  I've seen you around and respect you (TenPoundHammer) but I think you're being a little bit hasty on this one.  Ol Yeller  Talktome 04:01, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - I did 3 things: attempted to find online version of the mentioned magazines to verify the features, attempted to find other articles about the subject, and attempted to see if the mentioned magazines were reliable. I found no information to suggest that the subject had been featured in any of the magazines (but that still doesn't mean he wasn't).  I found no other articles that do anything but mention that the subject was in the band being featured in the article (implied that the band was notable but not him individually).  I find that Modern Drummer Magazine is not a reliable source, Steppin Out Magazine is not a reliable source, and that East Coast Rocker may or may not be a reliable source (no official website but my search does show that it exists.   In my opinion two of the three magazines that the subject may or may not be in, aren't reliable.  In short, the best case scenario is that he's in all 3 magazines and 2 aren't reliable meaning that there's 1 reliable source to prove notability.  Worst case scenario, the subject isn't in any of the magazines and none of them are reliable.  Either way, I'd say a deletion is in order.  Ol Yeller  Talktome 04:47, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete nobody cares about you or your garage band. Lack of third-party, reliable sources that discuss the topic in more than a trivial manner. Fails WP:V. -Atmoz (talk) 16:29, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
