Mick Sleeper
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Kept at the previous AFD in 2006, but still unsourced after a further 4 years. No significant coverage found. He has excellent taste in music, and may be known to Lee Perry fans, but his claim to notability is a bit thin, and unless some sources can be found can we really have an article here?

 * Wow... this takes me back... when I first became acquainted with Mick Sleeper, I was still using Gopher to access the internet. Keep  Catfish Jim   &#38; the soapdish
 * I think we're going to need more than one mention of his website.--Michig (talk) 18:04, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * How about ? They're somewhere lower than I would usually accept as reliable sources, but given the nature of genre specific music journalism, they're about as good as we can expect.  Catfish Jim   &#38; the soapdish  19:18, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The United Reggae one is promotional blurb possibly written by him, the other would struggle to be regarded as a reliable source.--Michig (talk) 19:37, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep... and try as I might, I can't find much else... A Google books search turns up this, which conceivably might have something, but unfortunately there's no preview. This has a chapter on Lee Perry written by him, but again I can't access it. I'll probably have to change my opinion to weak delete. It just doesn't look like he meets WP:N or any of the specialist categories he might be shoe-horned into. Catfish Jim   &#38; the soapdish  20:37, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - For lack of sources after so many years. If this person does somehow pass WP:BIO as suggested in the previous AfD, then I think this is one occasion that Ignore all rules can be used as an argument towards deletion. NotARealWord (talk) 12:24, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * In the absence of genuinely reliable sources, delete. If better sources are found in the future, then a better article can certainly be recreated at that time. Bearcat (talk) 23:32, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
