Seems to fail WP:BAND and WP:BIO. There's a list of citations that appears lengthy if you don't actually look at them, but almost all of them seem to fail WP:RS. The only one I can see that would be considered a reliable source is the MiG Alley Flyer paper, and that only gives a small passing mention about the article subject. The award given to him was from a RESTAURANT, and so isn't of note, he doesn't have any charting records, he hasn't been a member of any notable bands, he hasn't recorded for what I would believe are notable record companies, and he is currently working as an entertainer for a cruise line. A search of the Google news archives turns up little more than adverts for some shows, which can't be used to establish notability. Non-notable per WP:BAND WP:BIO. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 19:45, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what I can do to improve this article. I have a few links to articles when he was in Russia. That's about it for now. [1] [2] also a news report on his visit in Russia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrpW76MmJQY&list=PLB26E5BE9A88E4CFB&index=10 Thisandthem (talk) 12:31, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
