[edit] Thomas L. Beard

Notable? Nothing to indicate it is encyclopedic. --Xrblsnggt 18:10, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

• Very Weak Keep as all google hits return Wiki mirrors. However, with verification he may meet WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC. Eddie.willers 19:07, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I can't verify the claims. Searching Billboard for the guy doesn't get anything; I found a gospel artist listed as "Tom Beard" with no releases, no bio, and no chartings. The Dove Awards are from the Gospel Music Association, and you can easily search the awards history [1]. Searching for "Beard" gets zero hits. Searching for "Grant" (as in "Amy Grant") gets a dozen-some hits, so searching "Beard" should've worked. But it didn't, so not notable. -- Mikeblas 19:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, the article says he got them with his band. Did you search for the band? Morgan Wick 19:50, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Bio says album was nominated; the Dove site does not appear to list the noms, only winners. --SigPig 09:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete can't verify in fact according to allmusic.com Glad consists of "John Gates, Ed Nalle, Jim Bullard, Chris Davis and Paul Langford" so unless they are wrong... --Pboyd04 21:26, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: artistdirect lists him as the "Arranger, Producer, Keyboards, Vocals" on the Glad album Romans. User:Zoe|^(talk) 22:15, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: ...as well as on "The A Cappella Project", he's listed as "arranger" and "vocals". I Googled two current group members' names (since I figure we're looking for earlier members, I went with the ones with the highest hairlines), added "+beard", and got a number of hits for Glad CDs from here to Korea, who mention Tom Beard, either as vox, keyboards, or arranger. As Zoe stated above, he appears to be listed with the group for the CD "Romans". So, dude exists; other than that, IDK if he's (non-)notable or if any of the info is accurate. --SigPig 09:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete- no confirmed notability. BlueValour 21:42, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
