Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dan Deacon
The  guidelines say he only has to meet "any ONE of following the criteria", and he clearly meets several. He "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,1 reported in notable and verifiable sources." why would you say there is "no evidence"? Is the Baltimore City Paper not a verifiable, reliable source? He also "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city." again verified by the Baltimore City Paper naming him "best solo performer" and running several articles on the resurgence of the Baltimore music scene, attributing it to him and his venue / non-profit music and art collective, Wham City. If you would like to see where releases of his are for sale, visit http://psych-o-path.com (featuring "notable" band Sightings on the roster) or to http://standardoilrecords.com (where you will notice that Dan appears on a split called "Porky Pig" with "notable" bands The Bran Flakes and Big City Orchestra). If you go to www.allmusic.com (which is a little bit more difficult to break into than wikipedia) you will notice that there is a page on him. You will also notice that he appeared on "Electric Love Letter" an EP by the very "notable" Langhorne Slim. To top it off he appeared on the first episode of Liam Lynch's podcast show "Lynchland". You may view it at http://www.liamlynch.net/podcast.php Liam Lynch created Sifl & Olly, recorded the hit song, "United States of Whatever" and shot the Tenacious D movie
