WP:BLP of a musician with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, which is based almost entirely on coverage from his own hometown media -- the only non-local sources here are blurbs, which completely fail to be substantive. As always, a musician is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because he exists -- he must be credibly sourced as passing one or more specific criteria in NMUSIC, but nothing here fulfills that.

Keep – The subject meets WP:BASIC and WP:MUSICBIO #1. In addition to having received significant coverage in Oklahoma news sources, the subject has also received significant coverage in The News & Observer, based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Also of note is that Wikipedia:Too soon is an opinion essay, not a guideline or policy. The article would benefit from copy editing to remove overly intricate detail that may not appeal to a diverse and broad variety of readers. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 05:24, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It looks there is significant coverage in secondary sources, which substantiates his notability. The article definitely needs work, but I don't think deletion is appropriate. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 08:19, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Imo, the article meets the criteria of WP:MUSICBIO. --Arbraxan (talk) 10:42, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
