• Non-notable musician; all links to the page were created by the author of the page. Ashadeofgrey^Talk 20:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

• Ben Mitchell is a notable musician under the guidelines. In 2006 he toured Europe with performances in Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin (Popkomm music festival) and London. An independant musician his debut CD is released by MGM distribution and available internationally through digitial distribution.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ozmusicwriter (talk • contribs).
• Delete as non-notable musician. Releasing a cd isn't inherently notable, nor is playing some gigs. I checked the Australian Music Prize external link and it seems that musicians can enter that themselves. I've already removed the input of an external link from the Ben Mitchell disambig page and it was replaced by this article. MLA 00:35, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete. MGM is a notable independent record company in my book. However, except for the Americana UK, there seems to be few independent sources for this article and I haven't been able to find any. If more sources are located, I will change my mind. Sources for his European tour or an Australian tour, reviews of the album etc would help change my mind. Capitalistroadster 02:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - needs reliable non-trivial sources and NPOV; the article is just not convincing that he meets WP:MUSIC. -IceCreamAntisocial 05:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete as per Capitalistroadster. Lankiveil 01:14, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

• Cleanup and keep - single on major label (MGM) and both national and continental tours make subject satisfy WP:MUSIC, albeit weakly as a "newcomer." B.Wind 03:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete It says he toured Europe, which would mean he passes WP:MUSIC; however, that statement doesn't have a source. If it can be referenced, then keep. —ShadowHalo 22:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
