Musician who doesn't meet the criteria of WP:NMUSIC. He's released a few records and had local success but doesn't seem to have charted nationally, won awards etc. All the coverage I can find is social media, or local to the Vancouver area where he lives. This includes some pending legal cases which aren't in the article at the moment, but which wouldn't confer notability anyway. Neiltonks (talk) 16:02, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep regional coverage is acceptable towards WP:GNG such as The Georgia Strait review, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:25, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete The Georgia Strait review seems to be the only legitimate source. Which isn't substantial enough coverage to make him notable IMO. Especially since its local and just an album review. --Adamant1 (talk) 12:01, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The Georgia Straight isn't nothing, granted, but it also isn't enough all by itself — even just passing WP:GNG requires more than just one acceptable source. All of the other five references here are dead links that (a) fail to even verify the content they're being cited to footnote anymore, (b) are the self-published primary source websites of radio stations and organizations mentioned in the article, so even when they were live they still weren't the kind of sources he needed to have. The notability claims being made here aren't strong ones, either: notability because sales requires a nationally charting single or album on an IFPI-certified national pop chart on the order of Billboard, not just selling a few thousand copies on the street as a busker; notability because airplay requires a national radio network, not just local radio stations or web streams. And precisely because the self-published playlogs on radio stations' websites eventually expire, even claiming notability on that basis still requires journalism to be done about the accomplishment, and not just technical verification of the playlist on the station's own website. There's simply nothing here that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have much more than just one short album review in his local alt-weekly for sourcing.
