Maximalist and almost certainly COI article about a minimalist composer. Is he notable? — RHaworth  16:44, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

• I'd like to clear up this article nominated for deletion. It is a notable entry and notable composer. Please let me know what needs to be done to clear this up and close this case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henchren (talk • contribs)
• Delete The Pitchfork review is a good start, but I can't find any other secondary sources. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 20:11, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
• KeepThere are others featured in the September 2008 edition of the Wire Magazine (UK) and Brainwashed.com. from August/September 2009.--Henchren (talk) 22:11, 23 October 2009 (UTC) Henchren
• KeepThere are other online sources and articles online referencing it. Please consider checking Google finds. There are also reliable Wikipedia pages that mention and have been linked to this page. Would like to close this. --Henchren (talk) 22:19, 23 October 2009 (UTC) Henchren

• Please don't double-vote. Also, you added a couple more reviews; one was on blogspot so I removed it, but the others just might cut it. I'll wait for further consensus. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 17:21, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

• Delete The list of spurious "references" is enough to show this is self-promotion. If credible, third-party sources can be found, this might be a different matter, but i don't see any forthcoming.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 21:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC)comment *that referred to various interviews and radio sources unavailable online. --Henchren (talk) 19:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)Henchren

Thank you for linking to the article Comment, but I really do know what that word means. If you are trying to annotate your former remark, then don't waste time telling me what you meant, but by all means add those sources to the article. So far, I don't see any reliable sources.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 21:06, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
*It seems it was added to the Canadian composers section on Wikipedia, and I've linked it from the legitimate sites already confirmed on Wikipedia, including Moodgadget, Howard Stelzer, and process music. I'm sorry I'm new to Wikipedia, no need for sarcastic remarks. --Henchren (talk) 04:20, 27 October 2009 (UTC) Henchren

My apologies, I didn't realize you are a newbie—we all were once, but it becomes more difficult to remember this as time goes on. In that case, what you do not seem to realise is that the four footnotes in the "References" section of this biographical article are not proper references. "Dunn on 20th century music" is an aside, as are the other three footnotes. They do not tell the reader where this information is published, or when, and this is the reason this article has been nominated for deletion: it does not establish notability. This is not the place to give a tutorial on referencing, but you should use the "Help" link in the "interaction" box at the left side of the Wikipedia main page, or link to the Editing Tutorial from the welcome message on your User page. More specifically, you should read Wikipedia:Citing sources, Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, and Wikipedia:Reliable sources.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 17:50, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

• Delete -- Fails to establish notability per WP:COMPOSER. Very few reliable sources found. No major coverage. Also, this is the only article that the primary contributor (Henchren) has contributed to. His first contribution to WP was to start this article. This suggests (but does not prove) that there may be issues relating to WP:SPA and WP:COI. SnottyWong talk 15:47, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

• Btw, love the cell-phone picture used in this article of "Kyle Bobby Dunn snacking on salted peanuts in his basement in Brooklyn, New York." That picture alone almost changed my vote (sarcasm).SnottyWong talk 16:07, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
