Non-notable subject, written by subject. Iestyn Edwards appears to be a real performer who has insufficient notability for an article. Google shows only fleeting reliable references to performer.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tznkai (talk • contribs)

• Strong and obvious Keep. See these: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], and see WP:BEFORE. "Fleeting reliable references"? Don't think so. Article has issues, but there's no reason for deletion.--Michig (talk) 21:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I missed the second one somehow - but my point I couldn't find substance beyond "There is a guy called Iestyn Edwards who has an act called Galina Ballerina, and its a big hit with overseas British troops." If you can rescue it, go for it.--Tznkai (talk) 17:02, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Notability is clear given the amount of coverage he's had in reliable sources, not to mention his national TV and radio shows. I have already added sources to the article. What else is needed?--Michig (talk) 17:41, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

• Keep. Obviously from the sources above. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:37, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

• Keep - I just looked at the first three sources provided by User:Michig, and they very clearly establish notability to the point that I didn't even bother looking at the rest of the sources provided. -- Whpq (talk) 14:24, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
