This doesn't seem to meet WP:NMUSICIAN. Maybe a redirect to Supergrass is in order? BuySomeApples (talk) 00:05, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fwiw, this was until very recently a Mark_Gardener#The_Animalhouse redirect. Maybe a little better, idk. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:55, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've looked for WP:GNG-decent sources, and this Billboard [1] is the closest I've come, though I've seen him mentioned in more WP:RS like [2]. Someone added this [3] from Music Week, but I'm not sure trade magazines are good for WP:N, and I don't have access, so I can't say how in-depth it is. Currently I'm at redirect again, but decent sources may help. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am editing this article to bring it into line with Wikipedia's community standards. I'm not sure if I've done everything correctly, and will continue to make changes in order to ensure that it's all in line with Wiki's requirements. If I've got anything wrong in terms of links/citations etc, please let me know and I'll go back in and make the necessary changes. Hari Teah (talk) 10:08, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You did not do everything correctly, see [4]. You're welcome to present the best WP:GNG-good sources you know of here, if they are good enough, the article may be kept. WP:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing may be of interest. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:25, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted a number of sources of Sam William's Talk page. There are many more. The ones I have posted purely related to the proposed changes to the opening two sentences of the article. Would it help to post all the sources available here? Or would it be better to wait for feedback on the article's Talk page? Hari Teah (talk) 04:01, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I couldn't find anything in my BEFORE search. Ping me if a load of sources are found. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:23, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Lee Vilenski, not a load, but maybe 1/4 of one. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:51, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This [5] by Sound on Sound probably counts for something too. Much is interview, but not all of it. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:59, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thatd be fine, but it's probably all there is. We'd need a significant more. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:10, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or re-direct to Supergrass. Being co-producer of a band is not inherently notable, being in a non notable band with no album produced is not notable and notability cannot be inherited from a notable brother.

Comment Mentioned a few times in this book [6] (Biteback Publishing), afaict, mostly the sentence on page 230. This [7] by NME is more than passing mention. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:21, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
