Notability. Only refs are the subject, IMDB and links to other Wikipedia articles. EBY (talk) 23:07, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

More sources have been found and the article is now standalone. millerkatiej(talk) 13:42, 16 January 2015 (CT)

Here's the issue - except for a blurb in the Songwriter magazine that states he was a finalist in something, there isn't any notability factors for this subject: his music hasn't been reviewed, he hasn't been critiqued, neither the subject or his music has been considered by a separate reliable source to have made a notable impact. Pointing to original sources like Amazon, or crowd-sourced like IMDB, or pointing to articles about OTHER people or projects and making the original research statement that "hey he was involved in this project and the PROJECT is notable, even if he isn't mentioned" does not meet WP:GNG. He worked with famous people, that does not make him notable unless what he DID with that person was notable - background singers, assistant producers, dancers all meet and work with famous people but they do not meet Wikipedia guidelines.EBY (talk) 15:14, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Contestant (not winner) on The Voice, and got a part on an attempted reboot of the Partridge Family that didn't make it beyond a pilot. I don't see significant coverage about him that would meet the either the general inclusion criteria, or the ones specific to music. -- Whpq (talk) 22:08, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He has been linked to performance of a movie's (Mostly Ghostly) title track, performance on Jay Leno with his own band, and a member of numerous famous bands (see A Fine Frenzy, Mitchel Musso, Tiffany) -- millerkatie (talk)j

Being a permanent member of a famous band does meet WP:NMUSIC but there aren't any WP:RS that I could find. Could you provide? EBY (talk) 02:55, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, being a member of a famous band does not meet the music notability guidelines. With respect to membership in bands, the criterion is "a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles".(emphasis added) A Fine Frenzy, Mitchel Musso, Tiffany are all individual musicians. A reading to the Leland Grant article only notes one band, The LiNE. -- Whpq (talk) 03:15, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
