Delboy (musician)

Non-notable performer whose "the world-touring hit" comes up with 19 Google hits. Repeated requests for sources and for proof, and a speedy deletion tag, have been removed with no sources provided. Note also that the article appears to be an autobiography, but the autobiography and coi tags are repeatedly removed without justification. Who then was a gentleman?

Here are some reviews of Burn the Floor bud. Read Up. http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=burn+the+floor+review&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melchiord (talk • contribs) 02:35, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have yet to explain the connection with this person that makes these links worth perusing. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 02:36, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And if you do a proper Google search including "delboy", you get two hits, both false positives. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 02:37, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He's their sound designer. I met him at a show in Boston.

Speedy delete Melchiord has yet to convince me, and there's no real assertation of notability. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Many otters • One hammer • HELP)} 02:44, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment reliable references about a person need to mention them. Otherwise they are of no use in verifying information for an encyclopedia article. Everything in the article must be verifiable even if the subject is notable. It's certainly not clear that this person is notable. If he is, let the author of the article demonstrate that. See WP:BIO. I am inclined to say delete but will wait. Drawn Some (talk) 02:48, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I met the guy, saw his work. The show is coming to Broadway. It was a hit in San Fran last month. Sheesh, man, cut some slack. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melchiord (talk • contribs) 02:50, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete sorry, no choice, must be verifiable. Drawn Some (talk) 03:06, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What must be verifiable? That the show got rave reviews in San Fran? I posted those. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melchiord (talk • contribs) 03:09, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That might make the show notable but he isn't even mentioned, okay? Please stop busting our chops. You know he doesn't meet the guidelines. Drawn Some (talk) 03:12, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How many sound engineers get mentioned in reviews of shows? It's the nature of audio engineers and other fields of work that are in the "background" of a show.

In any case, there's a already a link to Hugh Wilson's website that mentions his music and partial discography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melchiord (talk • contribs) 03:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He's widely known in Aussie theatre circles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregory Clegg (talk (UTC) This template must be substituted.
Keep He's got enough verification available online, we just need to get in there and help the article comply more, rather than kill it as a 'baby'. Paul Moss (talk) 04:12, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Paul Moss, what verification? He's not mentioned! Drmies (talk) 05:02, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the www.hughwilson.com verification is verification enough! --Melchiord (talk) 05:51, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable - despite Melchiord voting multiple times. JCutter (talk) 06:33, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Look again Cutter, I voted once, but have made numerous comments. Anyway we all know that Wikipedia is a joke. You guys come in with your numbers and vote something off no matter what the truth of the situation is. Delboy has released 4 CDs with a major label, worked with an Australian Star Search winner, toured the world as a world class sound guy, and released some seminal independent records in the Sydney scene. Just because Australians aren't as notable as Americans isn't any reason to delete a page about a guy. Where is the dedication to truth and information? Bunch of hypocrites all. I have seen Delboy perform, I read his poetry online, and have heard his audio mixing. If he's not "notable" then no-one is.--Melchiord (talk) 06:41, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
