Mostly unsourced biography. Provided references are mere directory entries mentioning him and his songs with no biographical information. I found nothing better online to satisfy notability, though it’s entirely possible there may be better sources in print. -- Finngall talk 13:38, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. None of these songs is notable, and his output, for a lyricist, was not impressive. Compare Adrian Ross. I've deleted the material from the bio that attempted to assert notability by saying that he wrote for a theatre company that W. S. Gilbert had also written for. The bio was written by User:FairlyPuzzled, the only article edited by that user, who appears to be a descendant of Brand's. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 18:25, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
