Delete This was a very (self)promotional article and entirely unreferenced. I've cleaned it up, removing the most glaring self-serving claims and puffery (this is what it looked like prior to clean up) and then looked for any coverage of this person. Everything that I could find is now in the article as citations but it simply isn't enough to pass either the General Notability Guideline (WP:GNG) or the alternative criteria at WP:MUSICBIO. It doesn't even come close. Despite the original claim to have "performed many seasons with Lyric Opera of Chicago", the LOC archives list him for only two seasons and all in extremely minor roles. The only other performances I could verify are with a very small company, Skylight Music Theatre, and again generally not in leading roles, and again only with passing mentions in local reviews. The solo CD is self-published. He gets a passing mention for a score he wrote for an artist I've never heard of in the Albuquerque Journal, but none of his compositions appear to have been published or held in libraries. A search of WorldCat returns only a CD of hymns recorded by choir members from four churches in Minnesota, where he is listed as one of several soloists [1]. I can find no sources whatsoever which verify any of the other biographical "information" in the article. Voceditenore (talk) 20:24, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Non-notable subject, promotional article.--Smerus (talk) 04:46, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now (feel free to draft & userfy) as although it may seem he could be notable, there are no signs of better sourcing and my searches found nothing aside from a few Books. SwisterTwister talk 07:27, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
