This nomination by 203.153.202.161 (talk) was incomplete. The edit summary says "shameless self promotion, does not meet WP:Notability". I'm not expressing any opinions myself. — Rankiri (talk) 15:57, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

• Delete Fails WP:MUSIC,WP:BAND, has not had coverage from multiple notable independent sources. LK (talk) 19:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

• Keep I'd suggest merge/delete if Rosser were only notable as a member of The Vines, but his involvement with Skinny Blonde adds another dimension. Article needs additional sources and clean-up if it stays.  florrie  08:15, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
• Keep: Plenty of sources are [http://news.google.com.au/archivesearch?um=1&ned=au&hl=en&q=Hamish+Rosser&cf=all available]. Agree with Florrie about the dual areas of notability.The-Pope (talk) 14:45, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

::Even so, the article is filled with POV written by the subject, and those "sources" don't include the info presented here. 203.153.202.149 (talk) 01:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC) — 203.153.202.149 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Keep, member of a notable band, and quite a bit of controversy and coverage over the Skinny Blonde thing. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 22:52, 28 July 2009 (UTC).

::Being a member of a notable band or a controversial beer does not make this subject notable. See WP:N for notability standards. Sources listed are also not reliable, flat PR release without fact checking. 203.153.202.149 (talk) 01:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

::Incorrect. There are multiple independent sources for Rosser, for instance [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article5942593.ece?print=yes&randnum=1238011276899 this], [http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,25207212-3122,00.html this] and [http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1723555,00.html this], all of which I was able to find in about thirty seconds. I'd suggest a little more time looking for sources and a little less time trying to delete articles would be in order. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 10:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC).

::*203.153.202.149/203.153.202.161/203.153.202.218: please forgive me for asking but have you considered registering? — Rankiri (talk) 01:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

• Keep member of notable band - independent verifiable references - may need to be re-written. Dan arndt (talk) 06:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable in his own right apart from The Vines as sources indicate. -- ǝʌlǝʍʇ ǝuo-ʎʇuǝʍʇ ^ssnɔsıp 17:19, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
• I have gone through and cleaned up some of the problematic areas of this article, added sources, tweaked grammar, etc. Article could still use some work but I think it is far from "delete-able". :-) -- ǝʌlǝʍʇ ǝuo-ʎʇuǝʍʇ ^ssnɔsıp 17:52, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
