I couldn't find sources that would verify the information in the article or confirm notability. Prod removed by IP without explanation. FisherQueen (Talk) 15:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Would it make any difference if I'd been logged in at the time I removed the PROD? Now, if the problem with the article is it's unsourced and verification is too difficult, fine, I can see that (I haven't looked into it in any depth, but I can agree with DarkAudit prima facie).  If it's notability, he seems notable within his own context (as opposed to "I've never heard of him!  Now go away and let me get back to my Mandy Moore CDs!"), but I haven't seen any sources proving this.  I didn't think it was right to allow this article to go to its death without someone, somewhere, considering it on AfD (it's too much to ask for a proper AfD discussion, but I'll take what I can get), which is why I removed the PROD.  Remember that PROD can be removed by anyone at any time for any reason, and indeed relies upon this fact for its very usefulness.  I don't think it's a good idea to prejudice later deletion discussions against that removal by saying, "Oh, it's here because an IP removed the PROD without saying why".  IPs can remove PRODs, and you don't have to say why.  That's the whole point.  203.122.238.225 04:27, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The purpose of pointing out that the prod was removed is in response to those who would say, "Why didn't you just prod this article?" No, it doesn't make a difference who remove it, I'm just acknowledging that I already tried that method for deletion.  While you don't have to explain why, the prod tag does request that you explain the reasons in the talk page or edit summary. The note that the material has already been prodded is customary, and doesn't prejudice the discussion, which is all about reliable sources.  I didn't prod this article because I'd never heard of him, but because I'd never heard of him, the article didn't make it clear that he was particularly notable, and my google search didn't turn up any sources that would confirm notability.  But because I might have been wrong, rather than putting it up for speedy deletion, I prodded it to give the creator a few days to add sources if sources were available. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:14, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete —  Artist is non-notable as I've found less than 900 hits on all major search engines. ~ Magnus animuM BRAIN FREEZE! 20:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It reads like a tourist pamphlet, not a biography, and there's not a single third-party reference mentioned. (I would have prodded it first, too.) Krakatoa  Katie  07:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
