BLP created and maintained by subject directly or by proxy. Was deleted as A7 in January 2014. Article was at AfD in June 2014 and was interestingly non-admin closed as Keep after only 1 re-listing based on the keep !vote of 1 editor whose only edit was partly substantiated by self-published sources. Left is

  • One source is not about subject but briefly mentions him as a producer.([1])
  • Two sources from 2006 mentions the non-notable band Lotus Lullaby subject performed in: one of these does not mention subject,([2]) the other is not about the band or the subject and only mentions the band and subject briefly.([3])
  • One source is a short article about subject's music on the non-notable website Nerd Like You. Here everybody can submit an article if "you have a nerdy passion and you are able to string a fairly decent sentence together",([4]) and although the writer, Tom Hoover,([5]) is a regular and self-described "nerd and aspiring multimedia artist [who] enjoys watching bad movies and playing retro video games", nothing here gives the impression of a reliable source. The writer is not a journalist, and the site has no record of fact checking.
  • One source is a 11 minute interview done by WGTB, a student-run internet radio station at Georgetown University.([6])
  • One source is a review of his 2014 record Vistas on the website Sputnik Music. Again much like Nerd Like You above, this is a community run site, and the reviewer is not a journalist.
  • The one reliable source used as a reference, Billboard, quotes subject regarding an incidence with Youtube and copyright, but is not about subject.

All in all we are a far cry from meeting WP:MUSBIO, and none of the above adds up to meeting WP:BASIC. Delete. -- Sam Sing! 12:45, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
