A non-notable artist. No references in the article and nothing of relevance that I could find by google searching. Nothing in googlenews[http://news.google.com/archivesearch?hl=en&pwst=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=%22Nicholas+Friesen%22]. Even a plain googlesearch for his name gives only 256 hits[http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&pwst=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Nicholas%20Friesen%22&sa=N&tab=nw], most of which are not related to him and none relevant to him that appear to be reliable sources. The most relevant thing I see there is his myspace page. Fails WP:BIO. Nsk92 (talk) 12:02, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Fails WP:BIO WP:ENTERTAINER and WP:N. Claims he is "award winning" yet no evidence of this is provided in the article or by searching. Almost the entire article describes local contribution, which is insufficient for inclusion. Appears on a local radio station but is not nationally syndicated so fails notability guidelines there. Also, photos claimed to have appeared in a national publication, UR Magazine, but this publication itself does not seem notable, and even if it is, having a few photos published there does not confer notability on Nicholas Friesen, so delete.

  • Delete as non notable. Extensive search of both "nicholas Friesen" and "Nick Friesen" found no credible third party sources. Jenafalt (talk) 11:38, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. He seems to be an "emerging" artist. So let's wait for him to emerge. -- Hoary (talk) 00:56, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
