AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

In addition to the AfD at this title, also deleted at Articles for deletion/Michael Blakey (music producer). Not a G4, but nothing to indicate that the factors surrounding deletion have changed. Sourcing appears of insufficient quality, depth and reliability Star   Mississippi  01:05, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and United Kingdom.  Star   Mississippi  01:05, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per arguments in previous AfDs. The most likely route to notability would likely be the association with Tears for Fears, but I couldn't find anything to substantiate that. Jfire (talk) 03:59, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete as incessant puffery. Note that the creator of the previous version, User:JessicaBruton, was blocked for undisclosed paid editing. And now we have a brand new account whose first edits are creating this one... Fram (talk) 08:17, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article and sourcing does little to establish the subject's notability. I can't find a good source for his involvement with Tears for Fears which is currently unsourced, except a few sources like this. Beyond the state of the current article, it's already been deleted twice, and both prior AfDs included what has been tagged or commented as suspected sockpuppets and COI.
