Delete - Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Article about an unsigned musician that only makes claims to a small handful of non-notable self-published recordings. -- WikHead (talk) 19:37, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Legitimate claims with real sources. The page DOES meet the requirements of WP:MUSICBIO (See Awards) 4:58, 7 July 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.73.74.57 (talk)
- Comment - The Ernie Ball award mentioned in the blog reference appears to be something that travels from city to city and awarded locally in multiple regions. If it's a local award, it probably won't carry much weight here. -- WikHead (talk) 23:44, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment - The Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands is a national contest for the entire tour, not just each city that the tour goes to. It is judged by professional producers and musicians. It is in no way a local contest. David Lehr's award was a spot at one specific city, but he very well could have been awarded to play in multiple cities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.141.190.214 (talk) 00:06, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Reply - But he wasn't. -- WikHead (talk) 00:33, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Comment - Doesn't matter. This is quoted from WP:MUSICBIO, "Has won or placed in a major music competition." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.73.74.57 (talk) 06:31, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Comment - it's a bit misleading to say that David Lehr won the "Official Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands", when the subject was actually the Indianapolis winner of the 'Acoustic Basement' contest. From what I gather, there were multiple bands selected from individual states. -Cntras (talk) 06:46, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The article is about an unsigned musician who seems to have achieved a lot with his music. The articles is in accordance with WP:MUSICBIO and has properly cited sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.141.190.214 (talk) 22:27, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. Pburka (talk) 01:58, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Self-published references. Music is also self-published. Award is minor. Fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Bgwhite (talk) 22:07, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
