I came across this page after looking at edits by an involved user, but quickly saw that there was a big issue with notability and neutrality. I set to cleaning the article and find sources, as the original state of the article asserted that he was a big force within his niche. (You can see the original version here.) A previous AfD was closed back in 2004 as a keep and cleanup, but I don't see anything to show that this guy passes the current notability standards. All I can really find are notifications of events such as this one which seem to be based upon press releases. I understand that he's a niche performer, but I just can't find anything to show that he's ultimately notable enough for his own article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:03, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not notable. There's quite a bit online, but it tends to be minor listings guides, or publicity pages for events of purely local interest. I'm sure he's lots of fun with a few pints of real ale or flagons of scrumpy, but he doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:30, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete I have added a couple of (brief) newspaper pieces to the article as references, but they are essentially local coverage.Fails WP:MUSICBIO. AllyD (talk) 06:30, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found the non-highbeam versions ([1], [2]) if anyone needs to look at them to show how brief they are. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:38, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
