Rylan Yee

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Even if the band that he's involved with is notable (it isn't), he doesn't meet the wp:bio/wp:music notability criteria Google News comes up with 2 hits.  brew crewer  (yada, yada) 01:26, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. Fails WP:MUSIC, and Google shows no good hits except for Myspace and passing mentions in news sources. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  01:34, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * KEEP-Nominated twice for Hawaii Music Awards, full article(not passing mention) of "Admit One" album and Canadian national tour in the popular Hawaiian newspaper "Midweek", played with bands such as Less Than Jake, The Toasters, The Aquabats, The Aggrolites, and Chris Murray, a Canadian national tour and 3 tours of the West Coast of the U.S., play on Multiple Hawaiian radio stations including KUCD and more.

 * How does being nominated for the Hawaii Music Awards establish notability? -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 02:24, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC. References supplied by Tommy Slack are for the establishment of notability for the band, not Mr Yee as a person. There is no problem with the band being notable though, I actually found a ref that wasn't their myspace that does confirm they got second in the Hawaii Music Awards in 2006, which I've added to the band article.

 * contribution to said notable works does not in itself make one noteable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TommyStack (talk • contribs) 02:48, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Think of it this way. If I add an article on Wikipedia, do I become notable? No. Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 05:08, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment should the singer be added to this discussion too? Seems to have the same notability issues as Rylan Yee.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 06:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Not really, he has other musical experience other than this band. PErhaps that should be added to his wiki.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TommyStack (talk • contribs) 14:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Personally i think so. The article claims he's been part of however many tours and albums, but leaving aside Pimpbot the bands are all non-notable and the references are a record label page (that confirm he, or a man named Fernando at least, played two gigs as a guest musician) and three MySpace pages.  tomasz.  19:00, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
