Promo page for non-notable artist/musician. The cited sources are: his personal website (asimsart), the company that licenses his work (americanpopartinc), primary source interviews with no independent analysis (Voyage Dallas, Downtown 500 ["Artist A. Sims reached out to me recently in hopes of sharing the story of his life over the last couple months on our website ..."]), a blog (Supreme Legends [that doesn't mention him]), and a self-published Spotify page. None of these do anything to demonstrate notability, and searches of the usual types found no better sources. Worldbruce (talk) 14:14, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The link to his personal account was just so I could site his birthdate. The article from Supreme Legends is talking about Robert Sims but using a former alias nick name the artist no longer uses. The link to spotify and American pop art was not any attempt to promote the artist but to demonstrate the fact that he is in fact apart of the American Pop Art collective that Steve Kaufman created and does make music. The two other articles linked (Meet A. Sims and A letter from A. Sims) are from well known artist webpages where I actually discovered the artist A. Sims.

Keep The content doesn't appear to be promotional. The links give reliable third party information on the artist except for the link directly to the artist webpage which should be deleted.
