Advertorialized WP:BLP (possibly an WP:AUTOBIO as it was created by a WP:SPA who maintained and updated it over five years without ever making a single Wikipedia edit about any other topic) of a musician with no strong or properly sourced claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The strongest notability claim here is a bit of regional (but not national) touring -- but NMUSIC #4 isn't passed just by saying a tour happened, and actually requires showing a non-trivial amount of reliable source media coverage about the tour, and that's absent. Nothing else here is a strong notability claim, and the referencing consists of two primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, and two hits of "local guy does stuff" in his own hometown newspaper, which isn't enough coverage to get him over WP:GNG all by itself in lieu of having to accomplish something that would pass NMUSIC's achievement-based criteria. There's just nothing here that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:01, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
