Fails WP:GNG. Article was created in 2007 by what appears to be a fan, relative, or by Edwards himself, violating WP:COI. Only reference in article redirects to a dead link. Cheers! Fake scientist 8000 16:22, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The reference has now been fixed using User:InternetArchiveBot at iabot.toolforge.org I encourage everyone to run IAbot on articles they are considering nominating before making their nomination. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 17:10, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Even with the reference fix, there are no other notations about the singer. Gsearch goes straight to bandcamp and other social media and streaming sites. Oaktree b (talk) 20:33, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. 2007 was the wild west days of Wikipedia. Good times. So we are left with a stub here that essentially violates WP:COPYVIO, WP:BLP, and WP:SIGCOV. I'm not sure this can be fixed. Bearian (talk) 17:34, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Found no significant coverage regarding the subject. I tried to search for him on Allmusic as well, and found no artist under "Mr Duke". While there seems to be a lot of musicians named "David Edwards", none of those listed on Allmusic seems to be him. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 04:04, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
