Doubtful notability: no sources online or in Google books and very few Google hits other than WP article; unsourced, non-neutral BLP Clegs (talk) 10:51, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. As cool as this guy is, he unfortunately doesn't pass the guidelines for WP:BIO or WP:ENTERTAINER. There just aren't any reliable sources out there.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:56, 7 March 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
- Delete. The only notable thing about this guy seems to be that he worked for some notable people (i.e. Marilyn Manson), but these assertions are not sourced, and that definition of notability would be much too sweeping. It's at best a violation of WP:ENT and at worst WP:SELFPROMOTE and/or WP:ARTSPAM. A few things that jumped out at me:
- "He is known for his androgynous presentation..." Known by whom?
- "Karis was born in a small town in Mexico..." What town?
- "Somewhere along the journey..." Where? What journey?
- Article is poorly wikilinked and contains inline external links to other non-notable individuals/groups, while failing to emphasize the few aforementioned aspects that might make him notable. —JmaJeremy talk contribs 15:11, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
