Completely unreferenced WP:BLP of a writer and musician with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC or WP:AUTHOR. For both endeavours, the claims here are that his work exists -- but Wikipedia is not simply looking for verification of existence so much as properly sourced evidence of importance, such as important literary or music awards, journalistic coverage about his career and/or independent critical analysis of his work's creative or cultural significance. But the closest thing to "referencing" here is a linkfarm of external links to directory entries and the self-published websites of organizations he's directly affiliated with, which are primary sources and not support for notability. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have much better references than this. Bearcat (talk) 15:57, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:N. Research substantiates that Gil is an author, but no WP:RS established notability. XVDC (talk) 16:29, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I was about to nominate this page myself, for the same reasons. Completely fails WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:NAUTHOR. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 16:15, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
