Sheryar Nizar

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

Non-notable musician; does not pass WP:BAND. Can't find any independent references. Lists playing at universities and winning a battle of the bands contest as major accomplishments, which isn't too promising. His "album" appears to be an Internet release. Claims (without reference) to have played the Roskilde festival, but I can find no independent verification of that (granted, Roskilde is in Denmark and I don't know Danish, so I could be missing something). Likewise, the North American tours are unreferenced and too vague to be verified. Article was started by User:Sheryarnizar (and much work has been done by IPs who seem to be him or close associates as they add personal information), strongly implying WP:COI. &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 18:21, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and could have been speedily deleted. Utterly non-notable and not a reliable source to be found. -- Logical Premise Ergo? 19:11, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I was giving it the benefit of the doubt, but the editor in question doesn't really seem to respond, so meh. Kill it with fire! ;) Prince of Canadat 23:04, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete This page, under various names, has already been speedily deleted at least twice (see the author's Talk page). Speedy was declined here due to a claim of international touring being an assertion of notability; this is (arguably) valid, but doesn't apply here, of course.
