The result was keep. There is a clear consensus that Mitch Malloy is notable; the article is not a copyright violation, but rather was copied by several websites which mirror Wikipedia content. John254 02:28, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable, was not an official recognized member of the band according to the official band or label website, never participated in an official recording, the article is poorly sourced; one source listed is an online fan site interview with the person in question Eatabullet (talk) 17:01, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep ref added. He was in the band. (linked to WP page) He also had some top 20 hits on his own [1]. The article seems to be a copy viol right now but it can be saved if someone will spend some time on it. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 17:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I think I got a good ref in there now. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 17:39, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the link to answers.com because the only mention of him is in their copy of our Van Halen article. DCEdwards¹⁹⁶⁶ 19:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like I keep getting Rick Rolled. Every article on the Van Halen relationship is a WP mirror. Anyway... I can not find any sources that backup the Van Halen claim. He is notable on his own but the article should be rewritten with info on him and his career and the Van Halen info deleted. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 19:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep but remove the copyvio. He's charted in the Billboard Hot 100, and he has a decent length AMG bio and he's recorded for RCA -- wait, this is the same Malloy, right? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per TenPoundHammer. 2 charted songs and 2 albums with RCA passes WP:MUSIC. DCEdwards¹⁹⁶⁶ 18:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep since he's a notable individual and the VHND has reported extensively on him and it's a "trustable" fansite, if such a thing exists. And he has a myspace, so an official web presence proving he is a 'real' man. Someone removed the content about him I wrote on the VH page. I'm too busy, but someone put it back!
