Having done more research on this subject, it looks more and more to me like this entry is a hoax. There are no hits for "wesley sharp" + sony, and there are no hits for his supposed records. There's an entry in Urban Dictionary for "wez" which says "the invisible member of a band". The cover art for the supposed album looks like it's amateurishly generated.

Delete. Agree with nom; this appears to be a hoax. Even if not, I'm finding zero coverage for the subject. Gongshow ^Talk 05:58, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Even if not a hoax, they haven't done anything to merit an article as they haven't formally released anything. Don't know why the speedy delete was rejected. Bgwhite (talk) 07:26, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And I have unblanked, since that's not the way we handle AfDs. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 22:39, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that was silly of you. This doesn't need to be picked up by scraper sites for all time. Per WP:BLP i suggest you self-revert on this obvious hoax article. 86.44.31.213 (talk) 03:08, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can always put a db-hoax tag on the article. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 20:03, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
