After reviewing sources, I do not feel this article meets WP:WEB or WP:BIO criteria for inclusion. Although the article has been here for over two years, I do not see the evident notability. Refs are either not independent of the subject matter, or blogs, which are not reliable sources. Fbifriday (talk) 04:15, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I would've said keep, due to the association with Slate, if I didn't see articles for Married to the Sea and Toothpaste for Dinner, the first of which is basically a bio of his wife. I'd suggest that we merge these all into one Toothpaste for Dinner article, since 99% of the Drew article's quality content is about this single topic. I'd like to see most of the personal stuff stripped out if it can't be properly referenced.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 08:20, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it seems that his wife might have more exposure than him. Although the references in the sources on Married to the Sea are all stretches, they are from legit sources. Mostly mentions in lists, not actual articles. Maybe a joint article for Drew / Natalie? Ideas? --Torchwood Who? (talk) 08:28, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as suggested above, failing that, just delete. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:50, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge this and Toothpaste for Dinner into Married to the Sea. I'll probably merge Kompressor (musician) in there too. Thanks, Starblueheather (talk) 00:39, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
