Michael Byron (composer)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

American composer. The article was deleted as non-notable in the previous AfD. Deletion review/Log/2020 May 11 decided to endorse that closure but also to resubmit the article to AfD to assess improvements made towards the end of the previous discussion. This is a procedural nomination, I am neutral.  Sandstein   07:24, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

 * delete Of the 8 sources, only one appears to be independent, the book, though I can't see the full extent to which it discusses Byron, one single source is not enough. I suppose Dusted mag was independent but it looks like a small time old fan type blog with no real readership and thus not enough meaningful coverage. Praxidicae (talk) 11:23, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually striking my comment about the independent book - it looks like a copy of the Wikipedia article. So...no actual coverage. Also the book is published as a draft, so I'm not sure how this could be considered a reliable source. Praxidicae (talk) 11:44, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Is Allmusic.com a copy of Wikipedia? Hyacinth (talk) 03:03, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Allmusic's independent, and fine for reffing his discography, but the bio there is all of twenty words long. It's not significant coverage all by itself. —Cryptic 04:38, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The ebook version may be marked draft, but the corresponding print edition is in hundreds of libraries. Also, the only revision I found with any resemblance to Byron's entry in it is the most recent, where it's clearly marked as a quotation from the book.  What revision is it a copy of? —Cryptic 04:38, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I said "it looks like" not that it was. My points all still stand though, there is no in depth coverage and certainly no independent in depth coverage. Praxidicae (talk) 16:24, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete To note, I nominated the page in April. I will reiterate that the subject still fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. KidAd (talk) 02:06, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
