I'm aware of the difficulties of trying to find sources about a dancer who's fame predates the internet but it was unsourced going on three years and all I could find is a single passing mention (and that's assuming it's actually the same person, given the common name).

Neutral - I have no particular opinion about the article as it stands but there are references available.[1][2][3] Corporation Cart (talk) 13:51, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The first link is already in the article (a mere passing reference), the second isn't (but also looks to be just a passing reference) and while it's awesome that he wrote an entire book last year, the fact that it's just in 6 libraries may be a concern (that and we should have secondary sources, not primary). Like I said, I really don't know what to do with this. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:46, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - despite a lack of direct sources, it seems that Mr.Tully passes the general notability test easily. The article needs wikifying and sources, however. Eddie.willers (talk) 01:20, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:06, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He fails WP:TEACHER and WP:BIO. I couldn't find any independent sources to establish notability, and the sources that were brought up by Corporation Cart mostly provide only passing references of him, as Ricky81682 mentioned. --Slon02 (talk) 02:11, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - he seems to have just had a standard career as a dancer/dance instructor/choreographer - I don't see any evidence of notability, even aside from the lack of sources. Yaron K. (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:43, 6 August 2010 (UTC).[reply]
