Sideshow Bennie

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A largely promotional article on a non-notable performer. The sources being used in the article are pretty useless for establishing notability. One is not even about the individual, and the other is a defunct link to a "Fly by Night" entertainment, which appears to have just been a booking agency. Searching for more sources turns up nothing that would allow the article to meet the requirements of a biographical article. His name is mentioned in the acknowledgements of a few texts, and a few hits come up that are merely schedules of performances at a couple of events, and that's about it.

 * Delete - it's too bad there are no references to independent reliable sources since I find the article interesting, even though it is entirely promotional with language like, "He has shocked and amazed audiences" WP:NOTPROMOTION - does not meet WP:ENTERTAINER, so it has to go - *sigh* - so long, Sideshow Bennie - Epinoia (talk) 03:06, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
