[edit] Wade box
This is a poorly written bio of a non-notable musician with a group/groups that fails WP:BAND. Was tagged for speedy, but apparently asserts notability. I cannot find any WP:RS to support that apparent assertion. Evb-wiki 11:50, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, unless sources are provided. The only possible assertion of notability is winning the Rockquest award, but I can't actually find any evidence on the internet that he actually DID win this award. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. --Darksun 11:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Seems to have something to do with this band (which is mentioned in the article), but it's unclear what, and at any rate there are no references or anything indicating this guy exists. My guess it's some kind of pointless hoax. If the article were more comprehensible, there's a slim chance he might meet notability standards, but I doubt it. Propaniac 12:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as unable to verify notability --sumnjim talk with me·changes 15:18, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy delete, fails WP:MUSIC badly. Realkyhick 17:52, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete The band certainly exists [1] but why is this person in a contest in 2007 if he died years ago? The band may have some notibility but I do not think the members do yet, and the article doesn't seem to match the information I found. Denaar 22:48, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmmm. If this guy exists and is alive, as suggested by that Trident Leeds article re the band Falling Sets Fire, then this article is a serious violation of WP:BLP. Speedy delete. --Evb-wiki 19:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Mr Box did exist and your evidence is false. He was a close relative of mine, in mediated thoughts i would like to ask you to respect this page. Thank you for your time and comments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by C giddy (talk • contribs)
- Wikipedia is not a memorial. The point is not whether he did or did not exist, but that if reliable sources can not be presented to confirm even his existence, let alone any of his achievements, then it is virtually certain that he does not meet the notability standards for inclusiong in Wikipedia.

- Delete unless reliable sources about this person can be provided which satisfy WP:MUSIC guidelines. Burntsauce 23:27, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
