- Queried speedy delete for notability Wikipedia:Notability (music). OK, this article needs to be wikified, and likely trimmed down a lot; but can any of it be kept? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:31, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete A few reasons. First, nothing in this article has any cites. Second, much of the notability is "inherited" - playing drums on various albums, touring as part of a band, etc. See WP:NOTINHERITED. Third, what would make him notable doesn't seem to be verifiable. For instance, the claims that he wrote "hundreds of pop songs broadcast on network TV shows" yet he only has four listed credits in IMDB. (And I realize IMDB is flawed but if he doesn't show up there, it's hard to argue that he's notable at all.) Getting inducted into a high school's hall of fame hardly counts as a "major music award." --Mr. Vernon (talk) 06:32, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Since then, page Terry Silverlight has been much edited and wikified and references added. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 18:14, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Subject has an Allmusic biography, a Drummerworld profile and All About Jazz reviews of his albums: [1], [2]. Still needs categorised and tidied though. AllyD (talk) 20:31, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The principal author User:Fjwihjs has identified elsewhere as the subject of the article so there is a WP:COI concern. However I'd still say he has sufficient notability on the basis of the 3rd party publications cited above. AllyD (talk) 22:30, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
