Ian Cameron (musician)[edit]

Article, created by User:Tacameron and thus some form of conflict of interest, about a musician with no strong or well-sourced claim of notability per WP:NMUSIC. The strongest things here are that he was a guest musician on one song by another band, and that he cowrote one song recorded by another musician on an album that got nominated for a Grammy for the album and not the individual song. Neither of these are notability claims for a musician, per se -- a person has to be the actual Grammy nominee, not just tangentially connected to one, before the presence of the word "Grammy" in the article constitutes a notability freebie, and being a session musician on another band's work is not an NMUSIC criterion at all. And apart from the Grammy database (which verifies that Arun Shenoy's album got a Grammy nomination, but fails to name Cameron's involvement), all of the other references here are purely local media coverage in his hometown media, of the type and volume that nearly any active musician can simply expect to receive from the local media. Neither the substance nor the sourcing here are sufficient to make him notable for the purposes of an international encyclopedia. Bearcat (talk) 16:05, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
