This article has already been deleted twice. There is a flaw in the wikipedia deletion process which allows people with no knowledge of a given subject to arbitrarily delete an article. The moot point here was "notability", which has apparently been interpreted as being the same thing as "having widespread fame". To be fair, the editors in question were willing to reinstate the article once their opinion was challenged. I guess that's how wikipedia works.
If anyone is considering another deletion on the grounds of notability, please consider; this is not about whether everyone has heard of Will Atkinson. A more relevant criterion would be whether someone seeking information on the musical genres to which Will was a contributor ought to expect to find a reference here. To answer that question, you need some knowledge of those genres. The previous deletions were by people who made no claim to such knowledge.
A consequence of this is that for a while this article will be a bit dull, as any effort that goes into editing it will be focussed on establishing the right to have an article at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DominicCronin (talk • contribs) 11:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
