Steve James Sherlock

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unable to find reliable, secondary sources to evidence the notability of this saxophone player under the WP:GNG. One question: Is he the same as the drummer of Nerf Herder? At least there is a source or three that mentions that Steve Sherlock. But with the non-overlapping instruments it's not entirely clear, and the discographies or this Sherlock don't mention Nerf. Perhaps I've missed something, additional sources welcomed. joe decker ^{talk to me} 23:30, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Steve James Sherlock is NOT the same Steve Sherlock of Nerf Herder. You can find some secondary sources to evidence notibility on The The and Marc and the Mambas. I hope this clears up the situation and this great musician is NOT deleted and lost to Wikipeadia.

Added further references/sources to article and additional external links - further clarifying notibility. Please can we close this issue. Regards (212.140.116.162 (talk) 19:47, 27 August 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Delete unless substantial coverage in reliable sources can be found. The references added are insufficient to establish notability. Pburka (talk) 22:00, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete, unfortunately. I really don't like having to delete someone associated with two bands that I like, but the bottom line is it's unlikely this person has the substantial coverage in reliable sources required for us to build a verifiable BLP. His involvement in The The was extremely limited (2 tracks which didn't appear on any album) and probably considered more of a session musician than a band member. Marc And the Mambas' article claims he was a "consistent member", so that's something, but remember the Marc and the Mambas project only lasted a year and wasn't successful. Delete unless some substantial reliable sources show up. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:14, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
