- This article was deleted back in 2009 for being non-notable and after having a quick look for sources I would say that is still the case. Does not meet the ]

- Keep Passes WP:ENTERTAINER per professional wrestler, actor... He survives the notability requirements.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:43, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- this article needs a re-write not deletion.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:44, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete What this article needs are ]
- Keep Two full pages of Google News hits give some evidence of notability. While the source quality is not exactly Washington Post or New York Times, there are 21 hits. One source I looked at was just a passing mention, but the second and third I picked at random: Hot Indie News and News Blaze, are indepth. Anarchangel (talk) 11:25, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment – the quality of the sources is not the highest and most are just passing mentions or press releases. Of two you specifically mentioned, one is a PR generated by ECLECTIC MEDIA PRODUCTIONS and even mentions the media company in the release. The other sure is written as a PR, not a news article. ttonyb (talk) 14:44, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - looks like he lacks the necessary significant coverage in reliable and independent sources to prove notability. Yaksar (let's chat) 06:20, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per the above - lack of notability, sourcing, etc. The Usual Caveats apply, however - the subject could easily become notable at some point. I would recommend that this go to DRV before recreating (again). UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 14:26, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep. The 2 sources mentioned by Anarchangel appear to be ]
- The second source you cite, from newsblaze.com, appears to be a verbatim copy of a press release, including the advert for the PR company at the end. Not sure about the other one, though. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 01:41, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete It seems painfully clear to me that the two "sources" identified are press releases, they use the standard press release format, e.g. the closing paragraphs. Not a single reliable source providing in-depth coverage has been presented, nor have I found any in my own searches, GNG is not met. --joe deckertalk to me 05:03, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per the lack of third-party reliable sources. http://www.hotindienews.com/2009/07/14/105107 reads like a press release. A sample:]
