Gabe Zander
See Talk:Gabe Zander for all the pertinent research...This appears to be an article about a pretty non-notable musician. Zander's only chance at meeting WP:MUSIC is that he's the co-founder (a claim I've not found verified) of a barely-notable band, the Oi! Scouts, and he's been featured in a single article for Nashville Scene (which presented him as a street artist trying to break into the scene). No discography found other than 1 demo. I think the Oi! Scouts might be worthy of an article, and I'm surprised there's no article for Nashville Scene, but I believe this article should be deleted: subject not notable and claims not verifiable. -- Scientizzle 04:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment One mistake--the Nashville Scene article does state that Zander was a member of the Oi! Scouts, but nothing about status as a co-founder. Sorry about that, folks. -- Scientizzle 05:18, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong delete per nom. Fails WP:MUSIC, fails WP:V, POV problems, one minor mention in a not-particularly-prominent publication. Incredibly non-notable, from his singing of "mountain punk" (whatever that is) to writing songs in 2000 that have still not been released. An aside (which in no way affects my vote): Claiming a band "left a lasting impact on the music scene of northern New Jersey and much of east coast America" is psychotically pompous. Hell, forget the East Coast part- I'm from Northern NJ, and I've never heard a band say, "We're heavily influenced by the Oi Scouts!" -- Kicking222 04:35, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
