[edit] Ian Sandercoe

No sources. A search on Factiva turned up only passing mentions, none that I could see would be any use in building an article, let alone satisfying WP:N, and every single one of those was from the same local paper (the Newcastle Herald). Delete unless non-trivial coverage in multiple reliable sources is found. Sam Blanning(talk) 16:11, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - per nom. No reliable sources, provided, no article, and I doubt that anyone will really be able to find any. Moreschi Talk 17:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The article certainly includes claims of notability ("His music has charted nationally and won numerous awards.") but doesn't back them up with reliable sources. I'll change my vote if reliable sources are found and the accomplishments turn out to be more than trivial. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - ABC (Australia) did a piece dedicated to him [1]. --Oakshade 06:00, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Being the subject of a single article does not satisfy WP:MUSIC, and the ref provided does not substantiate most of the article's claims; WP:V and WP:RS issues remain. Heather 15:20, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete appears to be another case of self-promotion. When the article is notable, it will be acceptable, but it appears to fail WP:MUSIC now Gretab 23:49, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • There's also some information about Mr. Sandercoe in this article. I think it's possible to make a brief, reasonable article about him, though the present version sucks. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 13:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • It also seems like the movie on which his songs were featured was fairly prominent within Australia, picking up awards from the Australian Cinematographers Society, Australian Film Institute, and Film Critics Circle of Australia.[2]. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 13:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
    On reviewing those links and the one above, my view is still delete. The Courier article is a passing mention, and the other article isn't enough on its own, especially as "Searching for the next big thing" seems to cover the theme of the piece very well; a short article on an 'up-and-coming' artist, with nothing in the way of critical commentary. If he was the next big thing in 2003, when the article was written, then where are all the more substantial articles in 2007, when we're being asked to believe he's become the big thing? As for the IMDB awards, they don't sway me in any way because there's no way to judge the awards' notability without reliable sources; if winning any of these awards makes a person notable, there will be substantial non-trivial coverage of that person, which still isn't evident here. --Sam Blanning(talk) 19:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Conditional Keep: Provided that his achievements are backed up with reliable sources. Since if the claims are true, it is notable enough.--Kylohk 21:32, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless claims to notablity are backed up by proper references before the end of this AfD. A1octopus 21:46, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
