Nominated for speedy deletion under A7 (non-notable biographies) by Diemunkiesdie but I consider that the article does assert notability of a kind. No vote from me. Sam Blacketer 10:44, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article needs sourcing, but Harry Pye has been covered by independent sources as required per WP:BIO. This article in The Guardian calls him "the master of the lo-fi underground group show", and LexisNexis turns up further significant coverage in The Times. EALacey 11:20, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. A likely hoax.  --Listen up friend 19:42, 29 April 2007 (UTC) — Listen up friend (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment. Do you have any evidence he isn't real? His recent exhibition has been covered by multiple newspapers (including one online article cited above), and there's more minor coverage going back to the 1990s. EALacey 19:48, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, article in the Guardian, page at artnet. Corvus cornix 22:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
