Tim Gordon (musician)[edit]

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

Singer lacking notability. Airplay is not national rotation. Releases are not on an important label. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Current sourcing is: Uni publication about his band, a database listing supplied by the act, a playlist on a community radio station, a dead link, a record store link and a passing mention. I found nothing better. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Tumblers. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:48, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Adequate sourcing showing in the footnotes to clear the low bar we have by consensus for popular culture topics. Wikipedia is both a serious encyclopedia and a compendium of popular culture and these aspects are treated differently in practice, as they should be. Carrite (talk) 15:39, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per evaluation of sources by Duffbeerforme this clearly fails WP:MUSIC. We can't create a low bar of popular culture topics because we are ignoring our notability guidelines and we are opening a can of worms for all kinds of vanity promotional musicians to have a Wikipedia without the proper sources.

Delete - Does not meet any of the 12 points at WP:MUSICBIO, additionally does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. Provided sources are either interviews (WP:PRIMARY), passing mentions in setlists and calendars, or self published. --Tgeairn (talk) 18:55, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
