• Delete, no significant independent coverage, fails WP:MUSICBIO. TheClashFan (talk) 01:26, 12 April 2009 (UTC) Indef-blocked sockpuppet of nominator. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
• Delete fails WP:MUSIC, someone should nominate The Shys for deletion. Secret ^account 22:14, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
• Redirect to The Shys, as per WP:MUSIC, as there is no evidence of notability of the individual musician separate from the band. (The Shys actually do meet the general notability guideline, with coverage in a variety of North American newspapers, although the sources have not yet been added to the article.)

• Redirect and merge whatever is appropriate. The band isn't just a garage band. They're signed to a notable label and released two albums (which meets WP:MUSIC). Bands don't have to have charting hits to be notable, it's just one of the many possible criteria that can be used. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:46, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
• Delete no significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. Iam (talk) 03:58, 19 April 2009 (UTC) Indef-blocked sockpuppet of nominator. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
• Delete — Neither the musician or band seem to be notable. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 21:52, 19 April 2009 (UTC))
  • And yet, as I said above, the band The Shys has received coverage in multiple sources. Examples include:
    • Swegles, Fred (Aug. 15, 2006). "San Clemente band returns on Fiesta with fame", The Orange County Register.
    • Bracelin, Jason (Nov. 21, 2008). "The Shys are anything but", Las Vegas Review-Journal, p. J12.
    • Miller, Jay N. (Dec. 29, 2006). "Our critics look back at the year's best movies and music", The Patriot Ledger, p. 17.
    • Hogan, Ray (July 27, 2006). "Album review: The Shys", The Advocate, p. 19.
      • and so on. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 04:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
