Article does not list outside sources and appears to be about a Cinderella band member who was only a member for a short while. The article has been tagged for cleanup for more than a year and does not appear to have been improved. Tnxman307 (talk) 19:45, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

:Keep - Agreed that the article is quite poor, however I think this guy passes notability. There are lots of mentions of him in secondary sources, particularly under his real name Michael Kelly Smith. Suggest requesting a translation of the Italian article, it is much more complete.

::: Do a google search on "Michael Kelly Smith" (don't forget the quotes around the name) Vrac (talk) 02:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Keep This guy appears to have been the founding guitarist of the heavy metal band Cinderella (band). While there is no independent third party coverage of him, there is significant coverage on this band Cinderella. Dgf32 (talk) 20:58, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
