Most stuff that lands on afd is not implicetly verifiable.
Oh I dunno. Looking at (randomly chosen recent day log) November 8, we have the following entries:
Verifiable: 50-cent word, A. Y. Jackson Secondary School, Abdul Samad Maharuddin, Alan lennon, AMUST Registry cleaner, Andkon, Anphillia, Anvert, Appalachian State University Student Government Association, Arcanime, Archos Gmini XS202
Unverifiable: A. Willis Abraham, Aadam Nasir, Afskum, Apples, Guns and Greed, Archipel
I stopped after this, but I think you'll see my point. Lots of entries on AfD are verifiable.
Incidentally I find one or two of the deletion nominations somewhat disturbing. The "Archos Gmini XS202" nomination was accompanied by the statement "I've never heard of this mp3 player" The only problem with the article was some unencyclopedic language. The Alan lennon entry was apparently deleted merely because the performer has no entry on Allmusic.com, but this Kilkenny musician has played on a Kim Fowley album and recorded his own well received 2003 album and achieved endorsements by several musical instrument companies.
Unless we're adopting an extremely exclusionist approach to Wikipedia entries, such articles don't really belong on AfD at all. They seem to be a symptom of simple laziness on the part of the nominators. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
Born Febuary 8th, 1977 in Dublin Ireland, Alan Lennon is an instrumental guitarist.

With the musical styles of Jason Becker and Shawn Lane, while completely maintaining his own, Alan Lennon creates vast amounts of energy and emotion in his first album.
Currently Alan Lennon is in the studio working on his next album.

Neither the article, nor the AFD discussion stated much of the reasoning you followed for this to be kept (only that the album existed). If no one speaks up about things like this, how are we supposed to know it's keepable. Not because it was referenced, that's for sure...
