Non notable WP:BLP, with very few internal wiki links and relatively few WP:RS for WP:V. All unsourced statements effectively constitute WP:OR, and the article should be deleted as a result. Fatal!ty (T☠LK) 10:09, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The article was in good form when the nominator tagged it for speedy deletion, in bad faith. The subject is covered by mainstream press, like Vh1 and Allmusic, etc. --Efe (talk) 10:16, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as meeting WP:MUSIC criteria #5 (released multiple albums with multiple notable independent labels--in this case three of them). ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 10:17, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - not proper criteria (wikilinks have nothing to do with notability), and did the nominator search for any coverage prior to nomination as required? See WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC for proper criteria. This has several sources that appear to meet WP:RS (they are offline so I cannot verify) and several others that appear independent as well, so should be enough for notability.

 * Speedy keep. Notable musician who released lots of records as a member of Dream Syndicate, Opal, etc., as well as two solo albums, one on 4AD. Plenty of internal wiki links in contrast to the claim above. Also sufficient reliable sources. There is no WP:OR in the article whatsoever, and there are several Google news hits - these articles not included as references as they are only available by subscription. The nominator attempted to get this speedy deleted(!) prior to bringing it to AfD.--Michig (talk) 10:20, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, clearly meets WP:MUSIC through appearing on multiple notable music labels, including Warner and 4AD. Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:47, 23 November 2008 (UTC).
 * Speedy keep as Michig.  Count Blofeld   10:53, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
