No evidence of any notability and no reputable sources at all. Previous attempts to deal with this by a re-direct into an overarching article have been met with restoration of content here by an IP editor. A merge and re-direct still looks the best option  Velella  Velella Talk   17:17, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Meets WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Buddy Peace has been "the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself". 114.145.97.108 (talk) 17:25, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - where are these "..multiple , non-trivial published works..."? They are not referenced in the article and I had a look before nominating for deletion and couldn't see them.  Velella  Velella Talk   18:50, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete - there are short reviews of one of a joint work (he laid down the backing track?) in Sputnikmusic and MTV, which are multiple and non-trivial sources. But considering he's hardly mentioned and I can't see anything else of note about him in non-blog sources, I don't think that's sufficient to support an article, or meet WP:GNG.

  • Keep per WP:GNG. The subject has been interviewed at least a couple of times.[1][2] Looks good enough to me, and I stopped searching after finding those two, so there could be more. -- Trevj (talk) 01:22, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    I've just now spotted that the 2nd of those is already in the article, but my comments stand. -- Trevj (talk) 01:25, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per nom and Sionk, as the above sources provided by Trevj do not seem to establish the required notability for these articles. Coffee // have a cup // essay // 19:57, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
