[edit] David Bridie

I just speedied a text dump copyvio under this title and discovered that there was an earlier version deleted as nonsense that wasn't nonsense, but which may have been vanity. I restored it and I'm posting here for wider consideration. No vote. Postdlf 02:27, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep This musican has released albums through EMI, therefore should meet WP:MUSIC http://www.davidbridie.com.au/hotel_radio/discography_albums.html. Needs to be expanded however. Mike _{(T C)} 02:29, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, but expand. Royboycrashfan 02:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Needs cleanup, but Not Drowning, Waving is very notable, so any member of that band also qualifies according to WP:MUSIC. Not voting keep because I haven't verified that Bridie is a member of that band, and I wouldn't vote to keep it without cleaning it up too. Tuf-Kat 02:32, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
  • It looks improved enough now to officially vote keep. Tuf-Kat 05:36, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep now looks better with the ongoing clean up/expand/cite etc. Death Eater Dan (Muahaha) 02:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Very notable Australian musician in both Not Drowning Waving and My Friend the Chocolate Cake. Also done some solo soundtrack work on "The Man Who Sued God". 234 listings on Australian and newspaper index. Needs to be wikified and expanded but facts in article are correct. Bridie has an extensive Allmusic.com entry [1] which shows compliance with our music notability guidelines. Capitalistroadster 04:17, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• I have started a cleanup of this article and it now establishes his notability. It still needs more work which I hope to do over the weekend. Capitalistroadster 05:13, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
