[edit] Thomas Tyra

In my opinion, this person does not meet the notability criteria. Prod removed by creator, who offered some sources on the talk page, but not sources that I felt satisfied WP:RS. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:51, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete unless some more substantial notability evidence. Pseudomonas(talk) 23:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. If what is said in the article is true, then he's notable. But until it's sourced.... article is sourced--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 00:11, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I did find one reference. Otherwise, I've found almost nothing on him at all (Google keeps giving me lists of names, like "____ Thomas, Tyra Banks, etc."). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:26, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Reads like a memorial or CV. Ford MF (talk) 00:42, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete memorial page for NN person Doc Strange (talk) 00:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Despite the one ref (which isn't terribly reliable), I'm finding bupkis about his supposedly being the youngest director of a marching band. Unlikely to be a hoax, but the lack of sources is telling. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:02, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per Brewcrewer's source, still not fully convinced but it's a decent enough start. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:23, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Dean of the Crane School of Music[1]. Easy notability.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 01:09, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Appointed at age 26 as a director of a major university marching band, Phd. and composer of fight songs for other schools and more. I'd say that satisfies notability guidelines at least. Awotter (talk) 07:23, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep OK, notability has been established, but I agree with Ten Pound Hammer that it's good enough for now Doc Strange (talk) 21:36, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
