Wes Burden

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

Through a lack of reliable sources, the article fails to meet the standards of notability set at WP:N, WP:MUSIC. dissolve talk  08:31, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: I believe the guidelines for notability are too vague. Should someone be notable internationally, nationally, regionally, only in a certain city, etc.? Wes Burden is fairly well known in the Pacific Northwest jazz scene (especially Portland) and has been for over 20 years. Is that notable enough? PS: I am, and always will be, an inclusionist. --Thorwald (talk) 06:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong keep nominator did not attempt any of the alternatives before deleting this article, as explained on Guide_to_deletion. travb (talk) 09:32, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This is absurd. I tagged the article for lacking references and questionable notability a year ago. I searched Google, Google News, Allmusic and the persons Web site for something that would reference notability or meet WP:MUSIC and then proposed deletion when nothing was found. dissolve  talk  10:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, like the nom, I can find nada that would establish any sort of notability per WP:MUSIC. This is the closest I got . If travb feels that strongly about it, I challenge them to come up with some  reliable, third-party, published sources. I'd be more than willing to change me vote then.

 * Delete, unsourceable. (BTW Your deletion nominations might go more smoothly if you actually tell people where you have searched... and you should search google news archive not just google news (in this case you would have found a trivial mention)). Juzhong (talk) 13:43, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks like he's currently indy and not doing too big yet.  NO prejudice to recreation when Wes makes the big time - good luck, man. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 15:29, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
