Strong notability concerns. Also reads like a vanity article with a significant lack of objective references. Was proposed for deletion, but the tag was removed without explanation -- [[User:Tdowling|Tim D]] 00:54, 25 November 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''' where to start? The [http://picks.yahoo.com/picks/i/20050622.html Yahoo! reference] doesn't say anything about a "pick of the year". Googling for "benbenek site:eastvillageartsdistrict.com" returns no results. The other references are just fluff — I can't see any notability here.

*'''Delete''' as is now. Has a window of hope if anyone can produce third-party reliable sources that indicate that this guy is known outside of his own self-created websites.

I am willing to change my vote if notability can be established by producing third-party reviews of ANY of his work in reliable sources. --[[User:Jayron32|Jayron]][[User:Jayron32/Esperanza|<span style="color:#00FF00;">32</span>]] 02:16, 25 November 2006 (UTC) |

- Delete, Benbenek does not appear to live up to Wikipedia's standards of notability:
- His name gets just over 500 hits on Google, not a good start.
- His personal website, here, has an Alexa ranking of over 1.6 million. Thus, the claim "Over the past 10 years, Benbenek has posted literally hundreds of unique and artistic web pages, making Houseplant Picture Studio one of the most popular arts-oriented sites on the internet." a total falsehood.
- "In the early 1990s,Benbenek was a member of the rock band The Shatners"; the band's website is hosted on Geocities, not good. Also, in the less than 1,000 google hits for this band, I cannot find a relevant and reliable source that mentions Benbenek's name. Moreover, the band's albums are on Archive.org, so they appear to be unsigned.
- "In 1996, Benbenek relocated to London, England where he was Assistant Secretary at The Swedenborg Society" - the only sources I can find to verify this claim are from Wikipedia and the Answers.com and About.com mirrors of this page, and his Blogspot page.
- "Between 1997 and 2005 Benbenek collaborated with and produced five albums for the Woolwich punk band The Plumstead Common" - this band gets even fewer hits than Benbenek's own name (164 according to Google), has not been signed, and so on, and so forth.
- "*In 2005, Benbenek also co-produced the critically acclaimed album Haymarket Revival by The Magnesium Pie " - this would be easier to believe if the review that was added to support this claim actually loaded, but the site appears to be down. Of course, it doesn't help that the band's name only gets 95 hits on Google, and no verifiable sources among them.
- His solo album, "Third Toga Party from the Sun", gets only 179 google hits and no credible or reliable sources/reviews/mentions that I can find.
- So, the article's claims to notability appear to be completely unfounded. Daveydweeb (chat/review!) 07:04, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
