The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete There is a clear consensus to delete due to lack of reliable sources to meet notability. For the record, my own checks for other purposes concur, as many of the citations don't even mention Ellis, making me wonder about a semi-elaborate hoax. The article has also been subject to recent BLP-violating edits, another reason for getting on with closing this and deleting it now, given the evident consensus --Slp1 (talk) 01:08, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sketch Ellis[edit]

No evidence of him ever meeting WP:MUSIC, couldn't find much in google that are reliable sources. I think this is a case of WP:TOOSOON plus a conflict of interest to boot. Delete Secret ^account 03:50, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is enough evidence that meet WP:MUSIC. In this article there is more than enough [[WP:RS|reliable sources] cited ]. Tommylane1 23:08, 25 January 2012 (EST)

Flicker, twitter, a talent agency website (which is probably the most unreliable sources) and these blog like very small independent websites are not reliable sources. Please read the guideline further. Secret ^account 05:07, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please let all of us that try to keep this page up to date know what sources that "you" feel are more reliable? Tommylane1 21:03, 26 January 2012 (EST)

It's not what Secret "feels" is reliable, it's what the policy says is reliable. Affiliated and user-generated content are not considered reliable sources for notability per the general notability guideline. For what it's worth, a few reliable sources would be: reviews in national newspapers or magazines, a few paragraphs of coverage in a book from a major or well-regarded specialist publisher, or in-depth television or radio coverage (i.e. a section or programme on Sketch Ellis and his work, not simply airplay).

Delete No notability shown here. Lots of name dropping but notability is not inherited. member of multiple notable bands does not confer notability. lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:46, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Lack of sources which would meet WP:GNG criteria. Yunshui 雲‍水 13:45, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article would need reliable sources, which don't exist for the topic, and, while associated with notable bands, he doesn't meet WP:MUSIC himself. Yutsi ^Talk/ Contributions 16:06, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
