Handsome Ned

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unfortunately this article is almost completely unreadable, so I've struggled to find out what it's all about. At its heart appears to be the personal recollections of the author ("The reason i wrote this was because I'm related to Handsome Ned") which makes it entirely WP:OR. The subject is Robin Masyk, better known as "Handsome Ned" and his band The Sidewinders. There's a readable biography at which indicates borderline notability. Is there sufficient notability for an article at all? Is anything in this article salvagable? I42 (talk) 12:20, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I say no. Delete. The only source outside Allmusic that I could find was this. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 16:02, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a very unorganised article. It should be fixed or nixed. FotoPhest (talk) 16:28, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. The article would require a full rewrite in order to be useful, but there are insufficient sources from which to attempt such a rewrite, and the available sources seem to describe a musician of purely local interest. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:58, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
