Fails notability. Minor comedian, disk jockey. Only documented in local publications, myspace etc. Pstanton (talk) 05:53, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Roy D. Mercer is a character, not a person. Consider Roy D. Mercer (or the person who portrays him) as a recording artist, and evaluate 16 albums on two notable labels, several of which have charted. These statistics are rather better than many other recording artists with Wikipedia. -- Eastmain (talk) 07:19, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Eastmain is correct, here is a list of his albums that made it onto a Billboard chart, including 4 on the Billboard 200. Will incorporate into article. J04n(talk page) 10:58, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Eastmain and JO4n. I am not sure why the article was nominated given that the chart performance of his albums was already noted in the article. Incidentally, this AfD has also inspired the creation of Category:Prank calling. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:15, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
