notability - no trustworthy citations. Suspect page is generated by subject as three previous versions of the page were speedily deleted for copyvio after being created as simply a mirror of the Dwight Banks homepage. Mfield (talk) 03:04, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article should not be deleted for the following reasons 1. the citations are trustworthy-please check linked references. Also, the subject is cited on the wikipedia pages for Olly Wilson and John Thow, among others 2. the previous pages which were deleted were generated without the author's understanding of the rules for citing references 159.83.168.253 (talk) 03:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment notability is not inherited, inclusion doesn't guarentee notability, etc. Thinboy00 @190, i.e. 03:34, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment There's nothing on those pages you name to clarify why Dwight Banks might be special. Anyone could have added his name to those pages, they provide no context. Reliable third party sources and references are needed to establish notability. What are these awards he has won? Why does he not turn up at all on Google?

• Strong delete unless independent (noninherited) notability is demonstrated. Thinboy00 @193, i.e. 03:38, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment If you perform a google search Dwight Banks should show up among the first or second listing. He has been awarded several awards for his work from ASCAP and the James Irvine Foundation as well as others. This proof is available in hardcopy form and can be provided if needed.Glyph56 (talk) 06:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure he appears in the first two listings - they are links to his own website. That doesn't count. The ASCAP website contains listings of past major awards recipients yet he does not appear in any of those. Are these awards minor awards? In which case they don't pass notability.

  • Comment Most of the things I see in the google search (note:Google reads "+" as " ") are member profiles or seemingly irrelevant, and notability is not inherited. --Thinboy00 @822, i.e. 18:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
