This has been in CAT:NN for 11 years. I was unable to establish that he does meet WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 17:36, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The refs in the article are blank. Google returns nothing. Desertarun (talk) 14:58, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Delete. I don't agree with this proposed deletion - I vote against it being deleted. I agree the entry is not the best, but believe that Douglas Benford is worthy of a Wikipedia entry and is well known on his scene (and known to The Wire magazine) and his Spraw club night was an important club night in the (glitch) music scene of London 0f the 1990s. He also has a decent discography. If I had time I would expand it and improve it myself but I don't at present, but I don't think that is a reason to delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dasmian (talk • contribs) 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. A goggle search shows no good results. Fails GNG. Tulkijasi (talk) 07:24, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - He apparently has had a long career in esoteric music, but all media notice is at unreliable websites created by himself or fans, or the usual retail and streaming directories. The aforementioned Wire magazine only has a blank entry about him [1]; AllMusic gives him and his albums a few blank entries plus occasional credits in the works of others. He may a reliable longtime behind-the-scenes guy but he simply does not have the outside notice that is needed for a Wikipedia article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:22, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
