Nick Naysmyth
The person and his band do appear to exist, but - judging from Google results - no notability is established. The band does not appear to be the Manic Street Preachers that have an article of their own. Sandstein 13:06, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

He is the live keyboard player for the Manic Street Preachers, and has additionally been on television with them, in documentaries. He is also listed in the credits of three of their albums.

He has a cult status with fans of the band.

His name is sometimes spelt Nick Naysmith, but it is believed that it is Naysmyth.

Hence, my vote is to keep the page - Michael Anazapela


 * Michael, if this is so and Naysmyth has little notability on his own, consider merging the info into the main Manic Street Preachers article or enhancing the Naysmyth article (cf. the tag I've added). To make what you say verifiable, consider linking to the relevant sources in the Naysmyth article. Best regards, Sandstein 14:52, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Links for album credits? C'mon... He's certainly in the band. Don't have much to say on the notability front, though I found this (not-profesional) review amusing: "The problem with the latter-day Manics is the addition of keyboardist Nick Naysmyth. Words cannot describe how utterly crap he is. He uses all of one finger in the aforementioned song." --zippedmartin 00:11, 15 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete if no notability can be established before the vfd ends. --Raistlin 13:07, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * He's basically a session musician that plays live keyboards for Manics live sets. And it's spelt Naysmith.  If there isn't a line about him in the MSP article, put one in, but delete this as nn. Proto t c 10:32, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
