Ostensibly a WP:BLP of a musician, this is actually a WP:COATRACK for his album instead of an article about him. The problem, however, is that WP:NALBUMS specifies that an album cannot have an article if the musician or band who recorded it doesn't have an article first — and moving the album's article so that it's simultaneously serving as an "article" about the musician is not a bypass around that if the content is all about the album. Furthermore, the article is resting entirely on primary and unreliable sources, with no evidence of coverage in any reliable sources to confer notability on either the musician or the album. Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody can find enough sources to do this properly next time (i.e. a BLP of the musician as an actual topic in his own right, and then a separate article about the album.)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: as WP:COATRACK as per @Bearcat's rationale which I adopt. Quis separabit? 13:27, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Bearcat's analysis. Pure WP:COATRACK, in addition, searches did not turn up anything to show that this musician passes WP:GNG. News turned up a bunch of hits, but none seem to be about this particular musician (although they turned up at least 4 other musicians of this same name).

Delete No RS for subject of article. Only 3rd party source is an individual's blog. LaMona (talk) 19:47, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
