Troy Thirdgill

Non-notable comedian, cannot find non-trivial mentions in reliable, independent sources Somno (talk) 04:25, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non-notable. Rob Banzai (talk) 14:05, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep - I have found a few reliable resources that explain him ([1][2][3]). Seems notable enough for me. I'll add these sources to the article anyway. Thanks, RyRy (talk) 01:27, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done Feel free to comment. Thanks, RyRy (talk) 01:32, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The first link is his personal website and the other two are advertisements that contain promotional text likely provided by Thirdgill or his agent. They don't support notability. Somno (talk) 01:52, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, thanks for catching that. I'll be staying neutral for now until it's this comedians is notable or not. Thanks, RyRy (talk) 03:54, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Strong Delete The sites are not reliable sources and don't establish his notability. They're primarily promotional sites or the subject's own web site. Artene50 (talk) 03:50, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - There are plenty of event listings which name him, but unable to find any reliable sources about him. -- Whpq (talk) 16:40, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
