This biography article has zero references, and is not sufficient to establish notability. After searching, found social media, a few passing mentions and other people with same name, but no comprehensive, in-depth coverage of the person. Article was created by a new user on 20 February 2012 (their only article contributed to Wikipedia). Also was PROD on 21 February 2012 JoeNMLC (talk) 15:06, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He definitely exists, all I could find was that his name comes up several times in the Omaha World-Herald and Fremont Tribune over 2003-2006 (accessable through the Wikipedia library) but they're either listing him as a member of the group he seems to have been a part of at the time, [1] [2] [3] or just as a generic list of music events occurring locally. [4] [5] [6] but nothing to meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Shaws username . talk . 15:34, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Obituaries for people and his social media are about all I find. Apparently working with Wicked on stage now, which I'm sure is very fun, but nothing for notability here. Oaktree b (talk) 16:55, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. He has very few mentions and followers on social media.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearian (talk • contribs) 16:15, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
