Man with a job, no own albums or songs found. Article looks selfpromo and partly copyvio (although I could not find the source of that) The Banner talk 18:17, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or redirect to Saraya - Google News found a result here and a repeat here where he played with Orleans. I also found this which mentions he was a guest musician at an American Red Cross relief fund and another result here for an event which briefly lists his past work. I also found other minor mentions here (last result at the bottom and third to the last). Google Books found results here and here (the second link is second from top, both mention he was a member for Saraya, a band which charted but it wouldn't help this article), here (member for Those Guys), here (fourth, fifth and sixth from the top) and here (preview never indicates who the band is and I can't find who "TS" could be). Honestly, it seems he was more active in the 1970s-1980s and present though mostly now with replacement and sideman work. He has never maintained anything solid so an add to Saraya and redirecting may be better, considering so many of the Google Books results mentioned this. Additionally, the article suffers from NPOV and other tone-related issues ("Barry’s worked with some of the best" and "Barry’s also been blessed to record and tour").

- Delete not notable by himself. --Phazakerley (talk) 05:23, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Please allow me a little more time on this. He is worthy of note and has recorded with Pat Travers, replacing Peter "Mars" Cowling and recorded several times with Yngwie Malmsteen. I am new at this and will look for other help to correct short fallings. Thank you phaze1todd —Preceding undated comment added 23:58, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The point is that playing with others is not enough to make Dunaway notable. Dunaway must be the headline, not others. Does he have albums or singles on his own name? The Banner talk 00:15, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
