delete Per nom. Article is basically unsourced as the one ref provided is not an WP:RS, but even if everything in the aerticle was properly sourced this musician still does not appear to be notable. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 17:10, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Nothing in Gnews. Gsearch is Discogs, Bandcamp and pictures of this CD cover. There isn't very much coverage about this person, so not notable. Oaktree b (talk) 20:32, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The first album probably has reviews. It's not an insignificant or an unknown album. His label was (supposed to be) Geffen but they didn't get along well and his second album was never released. Name appears in Google Books and ProQuest.—Alalch E.
Delete. Fails WP:NMUSICIAN, and doesn't remotely meet WP:GNG, which requires in-depth coverage, not passing mentions. Most of the content is either entirely unsourced, or cited to second hand reporting regarding something that didn't happen, found in a random archive of unverifiable provenance. [1] The only other source cited, Bandcamp Daily, is a music distributor, and not an independent source. AndyTheGrump (talk) 22:29, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Name appears in Google Books and ProQuest - Most Google Books hits are false hits. I found at least two that were the page subject though, being [2] (snapshot of a chart listing) and [3] (passing mention). Again there are false hits in Proquest. The Hitchcock hits and stuff from 1923 clearly not relevant. All I could find is this [4] passing mention. Two references have been added to the page at last. This one form AllMusic [5] is clearly not significant coverage. This one from Bandcamp [6] is a little fuller. Not enough to write an article from, but some might feel the coverage is significant. But then, Bandcamp takes and publishes user contributed reviews, and this appears to be one such.[7] It is also a music distributor, per AndyTheGrump, so not independent. It is not, therefore, a reliable source, nor a suitable guide for notability. In addition I carried out a similar search to Oaktree b and concur with their conclusions. Does not meet WP:NMUSICIAN under any of the criteria. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:56, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
