  • Speedy keep I am the primary editor of this page. I am not a realation to Michael Scanlon. I am a fan of his youtube videos. He has made a notable 92 videos and is an active member of the youtube community as cam be seen here link title. He has a total of more than 135,400 video hits. His Jeffree Star Spoof has been favorited by over 50 users. His most popular video has a 4 star rating an has over 80 comments. He is a valued member of Flickr and produces good quality work for the site as you can see here Scanlon's Flickr page. I have provided valid refrences. The article is from a nuetral prespective. There is no slanderous material in the artical. The notable band Illusion Lounge is Played on the bay area classic rock station 107.7 The Bone regulary and is a favorite of the Sunday night DJ. The Band Illusion Lounge was a finalist in a contest to open for the notable band ZZ Top. I am fixing links and spelling mistakes on the page. All the information on the article is displayed in a factual manner. Illusion Lounge is featured on The Bones website .Illusion Lounge on The Bone. Michael Scanlon is an important member of Illusion lounge as can been seen on their myspace Illusion Lounge Myspace where the default picture is Michael Scanlon dressed as the bands mascot "PopBot". Michael Scanlon is highly involved with Illusion Lounge and plays guitar on stage on occasion when he is not in the PopBot suit. The article does not promote. I am finding more refrences. Scanlon has modeled for many striving photographers, one being the award winning Marco Torres. Scanlon is the winner of the 2002 Tri Valley Science fair. The award was given to him by The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory--ZEROmegster 10:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: I've removed the bullets from your post as they were making the page extremely long. Thanks for your detailed analysis. Hersfold (t/a/c) 16:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The only source of notability is MySpace and YouTube, there have been no independant references provided. WP:RSEX discusses why both of those are considered unreliable sources. Yngvarr (t) (c) 11:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Yngvarr. If there's some news coverage or other independant source that establishes notability, then it's a different story. I certainly cannot find any, however. ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 12:13, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 16:51, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Myspace is explicitly named in WP:EL as a Bad Thing, and YouTube can't be considered reliable enough for verification of anything. Delete as non-notable unless the author is able to find something reliable for verification and notability. Hersfold (t/a/c) 16:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment "Myspace is explicitly named in WP:EL as a Bad Thing," This statement is false. Myspace falls under the section "Links normally to be avoided." While it is not recommended there is nothing in WP:EL regarding myspace as "Bad" or Unacceptable. Myspace is not recommended "Except for a link to a page that is the subject of the article or an official page of the article subject" which would be the case in this situation.--ZEROmegster 02:48, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Comment Because your MySpace page is self-promotion, it doesn't qualify as giving you notability, and it looks like you've yet to cross that bridge. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 02:59, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Myspace and Youtube are not reliable sources, and barring that, there is no notability. Yeah, there's a mention on a radio station, but I've been mentioned on a radio station - doesn't make me notable. --63.64.30.2 22:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is a highly esteemed research center. Winning any sort of award given by them seems notable enough. There also seems to be more refrences--Tphuynh 01:44, 13 October 2007 (UTC) — Tphuynh (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Comment Couldn't agree more. I've replied on your Talk page. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 01:59, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Comment LLNL was the sponser of the "Tri-Valley Science Fair" where this individual won a prize. That's the cosmic link there. --Sc straker 12:29, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
