Skiles and Henderson

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

Written by User:Henderpete, apparently a member of the duo, this appears to be an unsourced history of a non-notable duo by a member of the pair. While they have performed at Disneyland, so have thousands of other performers over the past five decades, but very few of them would meet the WP:BAND bar. Prodded August 28; author removed tag five days later.B.Wind (talk) 05:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - it appears that the peak of their career has long passed, but based on a Google News search, there is evidence of articles written about them. There are a lot of event announcements, but mixed in there are snippets from articles behind pay walls.  This includes a summary statement "The comedy team of Skiles and Henderson was all over the TV variety shows from the '60s through the early '80s. These days, they spend most of their time on ..." which would seem to back up the claim made in the article of multiple appearances on TV shows.  The soruces are likly behind pay walls or offline, but that doesn't mean the sources don't exist.  Issues of COI can be dealt with via editting. -- Whpq (talk) 15:26, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Whpq's arguments - Wikipedia can have a blind spot about pre-web notability. --Cedderstk 09:04, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and yes, we do have a blind spot for stuff that happened before the interweb. Great job Whpq. P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 00:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
