nominated previous under BLPprod but tag was removed. Despite 23 references listed, there are no reliable secondary sources to demonstrate notability. Warfieldian (talk) 14:34, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

  • Redirect - To Malbec (band). As the nominator points out none of the references are notable, and some are a nonsense. Strikes me as a vanity article/autobiography. --Deadly∀ssassin 08:42, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

:* http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=xSEmAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Hv4FAAAAIBAJ&pg=5871,2431731&dq=sidney-miller&hl=en - article was published 2 years before he was born and refers to a magazine publisher

:* http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/music/la-ca-foster-the-people-20110626,0,2070721.story - doesn't mention sidney miller

The google link referred to above is talking about his father, Sidney Miller Jr., which is the person being referenced in that sentence.

The L.A. Times link is about Malbec, the band that Sidney Miller was in, which is what is being referenced in the sentence where the reference is placed.

Is there anything specific that makes it sound like a "vanity article/autobiography"?

  • Keep. Per WP:MUSICBIO, "members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article". The subject has been a member of Malbec and The Knux, both of which currently have their own Wikipedia articles. In the event that either Malbec or The Knux become the subject of a future AfD and get deleted, then Miller's notability might be revisited — but as long as both bands' articles remain, I think we have no choice but to keep Miller's article too.
