WP:BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC. The notability claim here is that he and his work exist, with no indication of any particular distinctions such as awards or chart success, and the referencing is parked almost entirely on unreliable sources that are not support for notability -- fully half of the footnotes here are to discogs.com directory entries, and then there's promotional content self-published by himself or his own record label, blogs and Q&A interviews in which he's talking about himself in the first person -- literally the only thing here that comes close to being acceptable support for notability (Flood) is a short blurb, not substantive enough to singlehandedly carry passage of GNG all by itself if all of the other sourcing around it is junk. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 16:29, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lacking reliable sources to meet WP:NMUSIC. I note only 1 article links to this. LibStar (talk) 23:14, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Article currently fails WP:GNG, WP:NMUSIC. Further, it would seem unable (or at least very unlikely to be able) to satisfy any relevant criteria. In fairness, I found a 2016 album review and have added it to the page, but I don't see that overcoming the clear lack of notability. Cabrils (talk) 05:43, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
