Fails WP:V and WP:GNG. A long article which, in the end, makes very few claims to notability, none of which are verifiable. The article was created by a now-blocked WP:SPA account and looks like WP:VANITY. I could only find one, passing, media reference to the subject in a 1993 newsletter. I'm also nominating the subject's albums, which are similarly non-notable. Note that the article previously did include one reference[1], but I removed it as it didn't support any of the claims in the article. Pburka (talk) 16:17, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article purports that the subject is an engineer and an artist. Based on the information given in the article, the article's subject fails to meet the criteria WP:CREATIVE for both fields, and beyond that I am not finding sources through Google which would indicate otherwise. The section on personal life is irrelevant for determining notability. The related articles in this AfD are the subject's own music label and four music albums self-published through that label. Because the creator is not notable, and because the label also makes no claim of publishing any notable work or anything by a notable person, I am also recommending deletion for the label article. Finally since the label and creator are non-notable I am recommending deletion for all four album articles. Blue Rasberry (talk) 12:08, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I did correct the Allmusic external link, but the subject still fails WP:CREATIVE. GcSwRhIc (talk) 01:10, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
