Makes a couple assertations to notability but not enough to pass WP:MUSIC. I see no reliable third party sources, just a bunch of false positives. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 18:31, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• I don't know about a "ten pound hammer" but I have seen Lynn in concert several times and I find this article informative. I am not sure about the clamshell stuff........ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.218.126.99 (talk) 20:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC) — 65.218.126.99 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• It may be informative, but there's no true assertation of notability, nor are there any reliable sources to verify the info here. Keep in mind that "it's informative" isn't enough to have an article kept. Also, the clamshells thing is an inside joke since I like otters.

• As a note, we prefer that users log in when commenting here so that it's easier to keep track of who has made a comment and who hasn't. Since your IP doesn't show any edits outside this discussion, the closing administrator may not apply much weight to your opinion since that usually implies a lack of understanding of the deletion policy.

• Keep, "it's informative" is enough to have an article kept. --Aqwis (talk – contributions) 20:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• No it's not. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 20:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Delete. He appears to be a borderline notable, but he doesn't clearly meet any of the criteria at WP:MUSIC and I'm having a really hard time finding sources. Many of these are unreliable or irrelevant. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 20:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I believe the information to be accurate and thank you for the above citations. I will be searching the internet for more sources as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Differentjewelry (talk • contribs) 22:28, 2 May 2008 (UTC) --Differentjewelry (talk) 22:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Those are all primary sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 22:31, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Weak delete per Hersfold. Not really passing WP:MUSIC here. Bfigura ^(talk) 22:46, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
• Just because the information is not in the Google Top 5 does not mean it should be deleted.

• Please familiarize yourself with WP:N. It's not lack of Google sources, but rather lack of any sources whatsoever. Even a detailed biography from a book would work. And please quit adding headers to your comments here. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 23:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 04:24, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

• Again, either primary sources, trivial in nature, or unreliable (i.e. blogs or related to subject). Also, you can't !vote more than once. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 19:21, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

• Further comment: Differentjewelry (talk · contribs) appears to be a WP:SPA, as their only other edits to date have been the creation of Dixiana (band) (which was at least on my to-do list, so I'm glad it's done now).

More comment: It seems no matter what is added, it is not enough. Do with what you will. I will not offer any other articles on any subject; a waste of time.....only to play this futile game of "keeper of the gate". BTW, you should research your "to do list" concerning Dixiana. Mark and Phil did not form a publishing company called Dixiana. Dixiana is a recording studio. You should spend much more time ensuring the accuracy of your "stubs".Differentjewelry (talk) 00:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

• You seem to act as if I'm going by my own scale of notability. I'm not, I'm going by what WP:MUSIC and WP:RS say. None of the sources you've provided me with meet "substantial third party coverage". I'm sorry if you're upset over the proposed deletion of this page, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.
