[edit] Brian Mulholland

Author(who's username is the same as article) removed prod. Does not meet WP:BIO(does not assert any particular notability). i kan reed 14:08, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. This is a serious and notable musician with some interesting credentials. I added categories and references. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 14:32, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

  this is not meant to influence the AfD discussion I've looked over your talk page and history before, have you ever voted to delete anything? i kan reed 14:44, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• Userfy or Delete Google gives 83 unique hits for "Brian Mulholland" bassist, AMG lists one album. I know it's hard to verify the significance of jazz artists, but WP:AUTO tips the balance here for me. Just zis Guy you know? 15:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Very weak keep, I'm almost convinced by JzG's reasoning, and the WP:AUTO does hurt. However, the guy does have an album and has played with very significant musicians. So he barely tips the scales for me. -- Deville (Talk) 15:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete WP:Vanity and WP:AUTO violations. Google search does not bring any notable media articles just for this artist, and it should be noted that other people have the name 'Brian Mulholland' so a google search will not be accurate to just this man. --Bschott 16:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per above and NN. -- P199 17:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• delete as per above. WP:NN Notability not well established. Clearly plays in Maynard Ferguson's band per MF's website. New artist with only 1 album "Deco" just released this year. Also fails WP:BIO. Article not sourced and guilty of "padding" - I suspect his claimed association with artists notable or otherwise is through having been with Maynard Ferguson's band. He mentions, for example Stockton Helbing implying he is a separate artist, whereas SH is MF's drummer. 0 hits on hudsonmusic.com. WP:NOT Wiki is not a crystal ball. He's not notable, yet.
