Not notable. The appropriate guidelines are WP:ENTERTAINER for Barker's work as an actor, and WP:MUSICBIO for his work as a musician. I see no evidence that Barker has had significant roles in notable films. His notability as a musician appears to be even more problematic. I added a {{Notability}} tag to the article on March 6, 2013 HairyWombat 15:10, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Article was created in 2007, so it has been around for a while. HairyWombat 15:20, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - has reasonable coverage within NZ's main national media, particularly through 2008/2009 period, but still regularly mentioned. The article is in severe need of reliable sources and a tidy up, but that is a matter of time. NealeFamily (talk) 23:45, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have added the nearest I could find to a reference to the article, and its text does mention some form of award nomination relating to his appearance in a TV series, but I wasn't finding more of substance and this doesn't feel like enough. Happy to revisit if someone does add some reliable references that indicate notability though. AllyD (talk) 18:28, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
