This article seems like it is promotion for someone that is non-notable. The first reference is an order form for a book. The second reference is a dead link. The third reference is a dead link. It wouldn't matter if the third reference worked because it is from the college that he graduated from. The fourth link is an article about a creek. The fifth is a dead link. The sixth is a directory of people. The seventh redirects to the main page of Myspace. The next two are dead links and the final one is a Myspace profile. I found no coverage for this person. He is either non-notable or his credentials is a hoax. SL93 (talk) 00:27, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Utter lack of credible references and not even much in the way of claims of notability in the article itself. A poster sold by the Alabama Red Cross is the best of the bunch, and that doesn't even come close to satisfying the notability guidelines (even if it were sourced, which it isn't).

• Delete Non-notable. Desperately tries to claim notability through thirdhand association (he studied with someone who supposedly studied with Dali; his dad supposedly knew Bear Bryant; his aunt once touched Mike Nesmith's garbage recycling bin)... ok, I made that last one up, but it would fit right in. Parts of it are so incredibly goofy that they read like a parody of a silly vanity article: "He embodies the spirit of art in the South."... no, seriously, it really says that.

• Comment His father, Bucky Berrey, was a successful kicker for the Crimson Tide and did 'know' Coach Bryant but while Bucky was signed by the Atlanta Falcons in May 1977 he was cut less than two months later never having played an NFL game.- Dravecky (talk) 04:37, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, I don't doubt the truth of it--quite the contrary, actually, as anyone making up false notability for themselves would hopefully aim a little higher. We sometimes hear arguments of notability that fail because of WP:NOTINHERITED: simply having met or worked with someone notable does not make you notable... this one doesn't even rise to that level, as he's not even claiming to have met anyone significant but to know people who have. In 8 years on Wikipedia it's easily one of the oddest non-notable articles in memory. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 04:33, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
