No indication this person meets WP:GNG. All mentions I have found are just passing mentions in articles about some of his clients. John from Idegon (talk) 18:31, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak delete~~ - Yesterday I removed all the info added from IMDb and other self-published sources, and then went looking for some reliable sources. It was slim pickings. He seems to be friends with some big stars, yet barely anything has been published about him. We're even having trouble finding his birthplace. The threshold of notability doesn't seem to have been crossed. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:18, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep. The biographical information added by User:HtownCat has enhanced Brian Edwards' notability as "an important figure", per WP:ARTIST. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:40, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Weak keep. Glad I could help a little. I still think the article is borderline, but has potential, so I will agree with you and cast my vote. HtownCat (talk) 15:12, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Concur re: sources and difficulty establishing notability. This was a public relations blurb when I found it; if it's kept we'll need eyes on it to protect it from zealous COI accounts. JNW (talk) 20:04, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't think the references included establish notability (only incidental mentions at best) and I couldn't find anything reliable online that isn't self-promotion/PR releases. mikeman67 (talk) 20:25, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can't see enough in the article or outside it to suggest the subject meets our inclusion guidelines. Stalwart111 10:32, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Notability. There is nothing here that is not self-sourced nor anything notable.Jacona (talk) 18:57, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I found a decent article using Wayback Machine. I'll add info from it and see if it helps. HtownCat (talk) 23:12, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I wouldn't call his autobiography particularly helpful in establishing notability. John from Idegon (talk) 23:26, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
