King Lizzard

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I stumbled upon this when I found a "self" image of the subject - it said "I Randall Colmus created this work entirely by myself", when you look at the King Lizzard article, also created by the same user, the first thing it says is King Lizzard (born Randall James Colmus)... From the overall looks of things this user was/is here only to promote themselves via this article. This appears to be a self promotional piece edited mostly by the subject via their user accounts and I.Ps There are no real sources and only links to various "official" websites. The article "asserts notability" but unless sources can back this up I don't see how it meets policy and related guidelines. Soundvisions1 (talk) 14:28, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment - I don't comment on notability challenges of entertainers very often. I will mention that while this bio may well be self-produced per nom, as these things go it is written in a dispassionate and informative encyclopedic manner. It's not sourced, and that's a big problem, nor do I have opinion about the notability of its subject one way or another — but it is well done, for what it's worth. —Carrite, Sept. 30, 2010.

 * Comment.  Agree that the issue for me is whether there are RS sources reflecting notability. Sound -- have you done a wp:before search?  Tx.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:21, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Can't find any coverage of him besides social media. Yoenit (talk) 08:22, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete the 20-year period he calls his "famous" years consisted of being in a band that never made a record, getting married, switching religions, and working as an extra. Is that really what this guy considers 'famous'?!  Come on, seriously, this article is a joke, right?  Right?? Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:32, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
