Tim Riedel

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is a disputed prod that was, and is, nominated as a "unsourced BLP" (of a minor musician and television producer). Given the similarity between the name of the creator of this article (User:Sylmarill, who has edited nowhere else) and that of the topic's band (Sylmarillion), it is possible that this is a WP:AUTOBIO. WP:BEFORE due diligence revealed no indication via Google Book or Google News that there is any significant coverage on this Tim Riedel. For this reason, and because no notability relevant to any specific criteria appears to be even asserted, it is therefore largely irrelevant which notability criteria is argued, so respondents are welcome to pick WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:CREATIVE, WP:MUSICBIO (or any other criteria that takes their fancy) as a basis for discussion -- it probably makes little difference. It could probably be argued that this article's deletion could be justified directly from WP:V: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it."

 * Delete Was unable to find reliable, secondary sources to verify the existence or establish the notability of this musician. --joe deckertalk to me 22:59, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
