Article about a musician, not
reliably sourced as passing
WP:NMUSIC. The only properly verifiable claim of notability here is that he existed -- it asserts that he had hit singles, but fails to provide any
verification of where they were "hits" (spoiler alert,
not in RPM). And for "referencing", it just contextlessly bulletpoints a list of mostly
primary source websites that aren't support for notability, without footnoting anything in the article body to any of them. On a
WP:BEFORE search, further, I didn't find enough coverage to salvage this -- apart from one concert review in The Globe and Mail on the occasion of him playing the
El Mocambo in 1980, I otherwise only get local coverage in Saskatoon, glancing namechecks of his existence in sources that aren't about him in any sense, and tangential hits for other unrelated Brian Plummers (such as Bill Pullman's character in The Equalizer). Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have more and better sourcing than he has.

Comment: it looks very much as though this was written as a
WP:NOTMEMORIAL... the only other edit the article creator has made to Wikipedia is to add some information about Jack Hazebroek to the article about the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, and Hazebroek's name also appears in this article, so I imagine it was written as a tribute to Mr. Plummer, having worked with him.

Delete: Zero coverage about this person found, other than the usual download/streaming sites. Not meeting musical notability, tagged for a decade to be improved with sources, none added...

Delete Fails
WP:MUSICBIO. The supplied "references" list is very questionable.
