Verification search shows a lack of coverage where he is mentioned in sources. Mr. Guye (talk) 16:26, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Mr. Guye kindly have the decency to state your rationale for nomination appropiately. The one you presented above did not appeared contructive to me. What effort did you made to verify its notability before its nomination? Wikicology (talk) 16:55, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikicology: Whoops, sorry I misjudged the independent source thing. Still, there are no RS and little coverage in sources that I found while searching for RS. Mr. Guye (talk) 17:21, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

you are welcome.

Keep: article meet WP:MUSICBIO. I found this [1] [2] and this. Wikicology (talk) 17:51, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The subject fails WP:MUSICBIO. @Wikicology: All your sources just cited are not reliable third party sources and do not bolster the subjects notability at all. STATic message me! 21:12, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: STATicVapor This is a reliable source.Wikicology (talk) 21:38, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that is a reliable source, but it does not count as coverage of him. He is not the subject of the article and he is mentioned once in passing. That is only listing him among a few other artists that performed at a music festival. Let me stress that it is significant independent coverage in reliable third-party sources that establish notability per WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. STATic message me! 22:12, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - All the sources bar one aren't reliable so I'd say this pretty much fails WP:GNG & WP:N. –Davey2010 • (talk) 22:58, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as outlined above, there are passing mentions but not much in terms of significant coverage which is what is required by WP:GNG. St★lwart¹¹¹ 00:03, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
