[edit] Jazza

No reliable evidence of notablity supplied. Quotes from blogs and personal websites.WP:VANITY. - Motor (talk) 11:23, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Quite a large article, and isn't blatent advertising. His flash animations appear to be quite popular on newgrounds. Here.--Andeh 11:39, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Jazza is the name of a prominent character in the long-running BBC radio soap The Archers. Not sure what should be done here? The character's name is Jazzer Markb 12:27, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep on expansion and clearer expression of notability. Xyrael ^T 16:15, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I'm neutral on this. It started as a vanity article, but I put in some negative reviews and they stayed in, so now it's less of a puff piece. Editing out some of the unsourced autobiographical stuff might be a good idea. It's a adequately-written article. If this were a musician of equal notability, though, this article would have been speedily deleted days ago. --John Nagle 17:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, I came very close to speedying it, but instead gave it a notability tag and let it sit for a while before AFDing it. The article is essentially "some guy on the internet who makes flash animations and got started drawing during his lunch breaks at school." As you say, a musician bio of this notabilty would have been speedied almost immediately.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Motor (talk • contribs).
• Delete. No reliable source provided for this flash artist's notability and I could not find any through a quick search. Jazza is a common nickname and there is no evidence that this particular Jazza meets our notability standards. Capitalistroadster 21:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to Josiah Brooks, delete if his controversy was not covered by any sources, and if he is less popular than David Firth--Rayc 23:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
