 * Keep the Complex reference seems reasonable enough (though the others appear to be blogs and should be removed as references).  This review in Vibe should be sufficient to demonstrate notability.--RadioFan (talk) 15:41, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. One article in Vibe is a start....but he needs more to be notable. I can't buy off on calling the Complex a reliable source. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:14, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
