The LilsBoys
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotionally-toned article. No evidence of notability outside the pages of WP:THESUN, which is deprecated and so cannot be used as evidence of notability itself. WP:BEFORE shows no evidence of third-party coverage in WP:RSes. The article has barely been touched since its creation. First AFD in 2007 was "no consensus", but I don't see how this passes 2020 WP:BLP standards. Happy to be proven wrong, with evidence of good WP:RS coverage and not just in a single deprecated source ... David Gerard (talk) 17:53, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment: I'll be neutral here. I understand that BLP has raised the bars but do we have to filter every old article through this. And yes, as per now, they don't pass WP:GNG. Lunar Clock (talk) 12:28, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think we do have to filter as many old articles as we can through improved BLP standards if we are going to be a reliable encyclopaedia.  And indeed the subject of this article is certainly not meaningfully notable.  RobinCarmody (talk) 22:20, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: The Sun isn’t a reliable source and so unless there’s anything elsewhere, fails WP:GNG Cardiffbear88 (talk) 00:05, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not supposed to be a platform for promotion. We have been far too lax in enforcing this rule for me to say with a straight face we are not currently a platform for promotionalism. We really need to pare back on junk articles in a big way.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:49, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
