No sources... unless you count the livejournal at the bottom... and thats not of very good (if any quality) at all. —— Eagle 101 ^{(Need help?)} 01:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Neutral, only a few news hits[1] (many of those the same article), an IMDB entry[2]. He's included in the Green Day template as a secondary musician (arguably typical), but seems to fail WP:MUSIC by himself (although that guideline does not specify a standard for members or temporary members of a notable group). The WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS argument is that innumberable bands have articles for all their members anyway. --Dhartung | Talk 03:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Given the lack of reliable sources, changing vote to delete. --Dhartung | Talk 00:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• weak keep, I actually own the community that's listed at the bottom, and for the most part Mr. Freese has been uninterested in anything having to do with it. It's mainly just there to collect google hits, to be honest, because no one ever visits it anymore. I think that Mr. Freese is a very talented man, but I understand his notability is in question, and I can't answer for it. I stay "weak keep" until someone can help me source the information in the article, because I've tried my best. I found a source this time around, and I'm digging up more, currently. I'm adding a note to the Green Day Wikipedia Project and see if I can get some help sourcing the article.--Jude 04:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added one source. I'm working on finding more. I'm sure I can dig some up, but all the information in the article is sourced at the link provided.--Jude 04:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep now there's a reference. Seems like a fairly prolific backing musician. Chovain^(t|c) 12:14, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: There is now a reference and there is an effort being made to source the article.  Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 18:30, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as a referenced article about a notable performer. Performing with so many such notable bands in such a manner makes him notable. J Milburn 18:50, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It has a reference. FirefoxMan 23:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Note. WP:N requires two references where the article subject is the primary topic. The reference provided is also not a WP:RS, it's a fansite for Green Day. --Dhartung | Talk 00:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. There are plenty of references that verify that this fellow is a notable session musician. Google News Archive comes up with 21 references referring to his performances with Green Day [3] and his work with Tommy Stinson. [4]

Clearly verifiable and notable enough for mine and we should use common sense about sources. Capitalistroadster 01:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I'm not convinced that the source meets WP:RS, but it indicates that the claims are verifiable. If no reliable source were to turn up in a reasonable time, re-list. Eludium-q36 10:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Can you point me to where in the deletion policy "unreferenced" is? If so, I think several thousand articles will have to disappear -137.222.10.67 20:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
