NN entertainer. No independent sources. And the article made by an SPA. Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 17:37, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
::Well... not quite a SPA, as the author [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Chatdelaines did edit other articles] from January through November of 2007. However, he does not seem to have a hand on WP:PEOPLE. Schmidt, Michael Q. 21:19, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. The fellow exists and can be found written of in music-related books,[https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=%22James+Lisney+piano%22&gws_rd=ssl][http://books.google.com/books?id=mc4JAQAAMAAJ&q=%22James+Lisney+pianist%22&dq=%22James+Lisney+pianist%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=87wQVLzhFoK4iwLKwIDYCQ&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAA] and may be the best concert pianist in the world... but I do not see enough outside his own website with which to build an article. Does anyone feel he meets WP:CREATIVE or WP:ANYBIO #2? Schmidt, Michael Q. 21:11, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

- Keep. The article just needs some sources: [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/4716565/Bringing-a-new-warmth-to-winter.html], [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/4720938/Promising-start-to-a-pianistic-journey.html], [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/classicalmusic/3648946/All-passion-spent-Oh-no-it-isnt.html], [http://www.mvdaily.com/articles/2008/11/lisney.htm], [http://www.abc.net.au/tv/goodgame/stories/s2839748.htm], [http://bachtrack.com/review-james-lisney-joy-lisney-st-johns-smith-square] (talk) 09:32, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I have worked a bit on the article: wikified, added sources, discography and authority control. I hope that addresses your concerns, {{u|Why should I have a User Name?}}. (talk) 21:27, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Keep – The sources provided, even if provided by those !voting "delete", seem widely spread and reliable. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:20, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - In addition to the discography of his own record company, mentioned on his web site, there is [http://www.allmusic.com/artist/james-lisney-mn0002199241/discography his discography at AllMusic]. That and the reviews listed by {{u|Lemnaminor}} are enough to convince me. --Stfg (talk) 15:10, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
