Possible conflict of interest editing on a non notable singer who fails to satisfy any criterion from WP:SINGER. A before search leads me to self published sources, user generated sources and directories. Needless to say this is also a GNG fail. Celestina007 (talk) 23:36, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(Oppose/Keep) Subject of article meets Wikipedia: Notability(music) Criteria set forth under Wiki article of same name. Namely guideline #5 listed under “Criteria for musicians and ensembles.” Subject has multiple albums released on independent record labels of note in the US & Japan. See music industry standard authoritative source, All Music confirming subject’s said label releases.

Saying that Parasol and DreamCrush are notable record labels that confer notability is a bit of a stretch... Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 09:39, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Parasol Records (& their associated imprints) was/is an important proponent of ‘90s - ‘00s power pop and indie pop, having released two album efforts by the article subject as well as many seminal bands of that genre - Velvet Crush, Soundtrack of Our Lives, Jack Logan, Bettie Serveert, etc. See - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasol_Records?wprov=sfti1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by ModLang1128 (talk • contribs) 21:15, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Added additional research-info and detailed references to improve article and further reinforce subject’s notability. In addition to article subject’s musical work (having multiple album releases issued in subject’s name by notable independent labels, Parasol - US & Nippon Crown - Japan), subject is also a journalist. With numerous educational articles and columns written by subject having been published by several notable, commercial publications (Guitar World, Songwriter’s Market, etc.) allowing subject to meet Wiki standards/consensus re: journalistic notability. Additionally, as a producer, subject has worked in the television field, having compositions used by major television networks (see CW Network, “Vampire Diaries” reference for example) further meeting Wiki musician notability standards under “Criteria for musicians and ensembles” citation #10. Lastly, subject’s television audio engineering work earned him a 2021 Emmy nomination (see article citation #19) which further supports subject’s notability as cited in “Wikipedia: Notability (awards and medals)” as well as in “Criteria for musicians and ensembles” citation #8. For these reasons above, I would respectfully ask that the “marked for deletion” notice be removed from this article. Note - I have no affiliation with subject as inferred above (just a fan, author & historian of the power pop genre). — ModLang1128 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment — Conflict of interest editing as aforementioned, and more worrisome is no reliable source has been used to establish notability nor any criterion from WP:MUSICBIO expressly satisfied. Celestina007 (talk) 19:22, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Article needs cleaning up, but subject is notable. Kevin19781 (talk) 01:09, 17 July 2021 (UTC) — Kevin19781 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
(Oppose/Keep) Citations/references, while not entirely impeccable, do demonstrate a certain level of notability in the aggregate, given multiple pursuits (music, journalism, Emmy nomination). It can be argued that notability requirements have been fulfilled, as a number of discreet criteria benchmarks have been met. Article also does not appear to be libelous in any way. Albums released by two independent labels with sizable rosters (see label Wikis) that appear confirmed and reviewed by reputable, independent, secondary source (AllMusic Guide citations) indicates professional notability as musical artist WP: MUSICBIO”/#5. As writer, appears to have numerous pieces published by known commercial entities (citing Guitar World author page and others) meeting suggested journalism notability standards [“Wikipedia:Notability (journalists)”/#1]. Emmy award nomination (as cited via 3rd party web reference) for TV work also indicates notable status WP: ANYBIO”/#1. Additionally, article is not an orphan, as Parasol Records Wiki article links back. jaskocd (talk) — Jaskocd (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete No depth-of-coverage from reliable sources; not seeing anything else that addresses WP:MUSIC either. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:22, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No in-depth coverage from secondary RS - a few short interviews in dubious sources, some affiliated sources, but not enough to build an article around. Girth Summit _(blether) 14:33, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
