 * Comment -- I would be much happier if we had an article on the charity that he has set up. At present it all looks NN to me.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:41, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete but start an article for checkemlads.com - He has a personal website, phillymorris.com, but it seems to mainly promote checkemlads.com. I didn't find anything useful for being the drummer of the Duncan Ross band or Deltarest (the article is vague on the time). I mainly found minor mentions for Morris himself, a Google news search provided a relevant result here. Another search with only "checkemlads" provided some more results here (brief, checkemlads received support from footballer Theo Walcott), here (briefly mentions him and the charity after a boxing match with Paul Smith) and here (charity fundraiser including support from Warwick University students), here and here (briefly talks about them but they partnered with a British soldier/cancer survivor), here and here (received support from footballer John Harston), here (in which Morris posed nude in a Cosmopolitan issue) and here (brief mention, not enough for notability). One of the results was also this, a detailed BBC News article with history about how and why he started the charity and that he received support from The Style Council, with a The Style Council article here relevant to checkemlads.com). Another result here which also mentions the charity received support from John Hartson and the Wales national football team and that they are the "largest independent testicular cancer awareness registered charity in Europe" and formed the John Hartson Foundation, BBC News and The Telegraph also briefly talk about checkemlads here and here (much of the same information though). I also found this which says he spoke with musician Paul Weller about cancer awareness. I think the charity may be notable with support from athletes and coverage, although local, through sources such as BBC News and The Telegraph. If other users agree, I can start an article for checkemlads and perhaps we can redirect Philly Morris to it. SwisterTwister   talk  02:24, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
