I have been unable to find any evidence that this article meets verifiability requirements. None of the links presented lead anywhere relevant; most are 404s. I've tried searching various strategies in Google News and in a library database of newspaper and magazine articles, but have found nothing that supports WP:N notability, or in fact anything about this musician. Every Avenue is not listed as a producer or co-writer for "Locked Out of Heaven", for "Castle of Glass", and for "Mr. Supafly" as the article claims. Prod was removed without comment.

Delete. I'm not finding anything on Google to indicate this person was involved in the songs mentioned in the article. Even if this is not a hoax, the subject does not meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSIC at this time. Gong show 00:23, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Lack of substantial coverage in multiple relaible sources. Actually, lack of sources, period. I, too, smell a hoax afoot. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 04:37, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. — Joaquin008 ^(talk) 10:28, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The categories on the article claim that this musician has won a Grammy Award and a Brit Award. That makes me all the more suspicious that this is a hoax. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 20:50, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I can't find anything to suggest that the subject meets the guidelines for inclusion, and I also suspect this is a WP:HOAX in the light of some of the unverified claims in the article. — sparklism ^hey! 10:03, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
