Delete. The article as it stands clearly fails to establish notability: he was "working on a full length album with the name yet to be released" and was "shopping a publisher" for his book of poems. However, it is also clearly out of date, little changed from when it was posted (by an SPA) in 2007. He might have achieved something since then, but searches do not find any evidence of that, only Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and the like - no significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Worldcat and Amazon show no evidence that he found a publisher; Allmusic does not show any album. JohnCD (talk) 21:46, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — Nothing notable comes up with a Google search. Seems as if it may have been created as self promotion originally, although there is no way for me to know this for sure. ℥^nding·start 03:00, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - extreme case of non-notable person with nothing resembling an assertion of notability, much less any actual evidence of same. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:25, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RS (no sources at all); WP:INDY (a Google search found nothing of an independent, reliable nature); and WP:PEOPLE (nothing in the text of the article suggesting any sort of notability). Richwales (talk · contribs) 19:46, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
