The Space Cowboy

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is entirely self-sourced and almost certainly an autobiography (sole edit of the creator). Appearing at Edinburgh is essentially a matter of turning up, if you're a street performer - as is appearing anywhere of course. It says he's appeared round the world; maybe so, but that would be consistent with a busker working his passage. There's no evidence at all to back up the florid claims to fame, most Google hits are unrelated. I call self-promotion and advocate deleiton. Guy (Help!) 22:05, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm having problems getting anything substantial to back up the claims of touring with rock bands et al; searching under his real name gets minimal results, and the name "The Space Cowboy" gets upwards of 180,000 - stuff like a Jamiroquai album, other people who use the name, probably some Steve Miller references... I dunno if there's reliable sources to back this up. Delete unless someone comes up with some verification. Tony Fox (arf!) 06:27, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - without verifiable references doesn't pass WP:BIO. Sbowers3 (talk) 04:30, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
