Fails WP:GNG as there is a lack of in-depth coverage from reliable third-party sources. An internet search yields very little, even when using his full given name. He has worked with notable artists, but this does not make him notable himself. If suitable sources are found, I'd be happy to retract. JTtheOG (talk) 02:50, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete uncontroversially fails WP:GNG, Allmusic/Discogs doesn't cut it, search throws up nothing. Quite fun, "In October 2012 Gabe toured Poland with Austin Peralta, his last solo performances before his death" but then Gabe goes on to perform again in 2014, so we can only assume his death was a metaphorical one on stage.

Those were the last performances by Austin Peralta before his death. Gabe still walks among the living, but perhaps not among the notable. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:33, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I know, I just couldn't resist the syntax/grammar... ;) Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:43, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - In the world of AfDs for musicians, we occasionally see journeymen support musicians like this and it can be unfortunate. Mr. Noel has indeed worked with a lot of notable musicians, behind the scenes as a songwriter, arranger, backing band member, etc. ([1]) If he has made an honest living in this fashion, kudos to him. But for his article here, notability is not inherited from the famous people he has backed. I can find nothing reliable and significant on him and his career in their own right, and most of his visibility is only in the credits for other people's works. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:48, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
