Ryan Avery is apparently a local musician and comedian. He has received a few writeups in local papers. He/his bands are, as yet, unsigned. Google returns quite a few results for the name, but, on the first few pages at least, they appear to be for a different individual. Most of the supporting references are to pages created by or for Ryan Avery. I do not feel the subject is noteworthy or encyclopedic. Shimeru 19:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the verification (Search Engine) test (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_ways_to_verify_notability_of_articles) comes with the same caveat.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#Non-notable_topics_do_not_belong:
"The word notable is often used as a synonym of "unique" or "newsworthy." Many vanity articles are deleted because the people discussed are non-notable. Sometimes, there is some content in a non-notable article that can be merged into another article. For example, If a British boy wins an award from his police station for creating a new organization scheme for the British Police Cadets, he may write a vanity article about himself. It may be judged that the new organizational scheme was notable while the details of the award ceremony and the identity of the boy were non-notable. In this case, the notable content in the vanity article on the British boy can be merged into a larger article on cadet schemes in Britain."
Presents a potential case to merge with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_New_Times under "noteworthy articles."
Also, the "meat puppet" charge stands unproven. I have so far presented arguments that have yet to be refuted or even brought up/mentioned again. Edit: deleted comment not pertaining to the debate. Dain Quentin Gore 00:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
