I couldn't find the significant coverage to show WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG can be met. The article itself has been in CAT:NN 's backlog for over 11 years, and was written by a WP:SPA, pretty clearly as an advert. Boleyn ( talk) 06:29, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - Clearly an autobiography and attempted promotion, written by himself or an associate, and which belongs back at his own website. I could not find reliable and significant media coverage for him as a musician or for any of his own albums and songs, and those are only present in the usual streaming and self-promotional services. The article's lengthy Discography section lists a lot of works by other people in which he made a guest appearance or co-wrote a song, and that list is a rather desperate attempt at notability by association. What the article calls his works as an "author" or "co-author" are actually songwriting credits, for which he does have some basic listings in various sources, though these are songs by other people and he can be listed briefly as the co-writer in their articles. –– DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 18:09, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
