Pure weapons grade vanispamcruftisement containing nothing but links to their publisher's site to purchase their recordings … the only potentially WP:RS is a {{Dead link}} — The Bipolar Anon-IP Gnome (talk) 20:09, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep — Though the article is really quite annoying and should be cleaned up, the guy may actually be notable. There are several search hits, including these from reputable sources [1], [2]. Favonian (talk) 20:23, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - even if there are reliable sources, those sources need to attest to the notability of the subject. None of the claims in the article pass any of the criteria at WP:NMUSIC. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:12, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - This artist has been featured in The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and The Village Voice, among others. Meets Wikipedia:Notability (music) criteria. Maher-shalal-hashbaz (talk) 13:39, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
you guys are crazy. he's notable. how notable you can debate, but not whether or not he's notable. their are far less significant articles on this site, and mayer hawthorne is a significant cultural phenomenon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.59.226 (talk) 19:20, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Maher-shalal-hashbaz but clean up. There are plenty of reviews I found at Google News - from such reliable sources as note above, and at the Washington Post and the Boston Herald. Bearian (talk) 19:45, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
