In my opinion, doesn't assert sufficient notability. Lack of references and sources, as well. Daniel Bryant 07:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

KeepI saw him perform with Wynton Marsalis and Dave Samuels both grammy winners. So i think there is sufficient notability. just lackings in references and sources in my oppinion 74.195.240.49 17:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Comment. Ah, but there's the rub, no? An article that is "just" lack in references and sources is a significant issue when there's no evidence that such references and sources (acceptable per WP:ATT) exist and can be retrieved. Mwelch 20:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete since this topic is not sufficiently well-known. Mr. Berry 07:13, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep As the author I see it as valuable information for those seeking it. The topic is quite well-known to those in the industry. Chazlewkowski 17:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Would you provide reasons for keeping the article that comply with Wikipedia policy? While everyone can understand that you subjectively feel the article is a keeper because you wrote it, we need objective discussion as to why the article's subject is notable as well as any factual statements being attributable.

  • Strong Delete: This guy fails WP:MUSIC with flying colors; he doesn't remotely come close to fulfilling any of the criteria. He's just a session musician, of which there are tens of thousands. NB - all the Keep votes above, so far, are single-purpose accounts. RGTraynor 13:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The author asserts some notability, but there is no source in the article to back this claim up, nor have links been added in nearly a week since this AfD went up. Doesn't seem currently t pass WP:MUSIC StuartDouglas 14:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No evidence of notability per WP:MUSIC. Mwelch 20:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable, too many Myspace sources. Realkyhick 22:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment:: well I already did my :*STRONG KEEP: However as the author it appears that the general vibe is to have this article deleted. No hard feelings here, I understand why it would be questionable. I personally feel as if it is notable enough to be kept. This is based on his reputation, many endorsers and list of artists he has recorded or performed with. However I fully understand how those who arnt familiar would vote for Delete based on the quality of the article that I made. Best of luck, hopefully the article stays but if not perhaps someone else will create a better one in the future. Chazlewkowski 04:40, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable, the only reference is a list of artists that use said hardware. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 04:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
