Even if it were rewritten to look less like a LinkedIn profile, this page, which was created by an SPA, still wouldn't pass GNG. While he's worked with a lot of people, there doesn't appear to be any significant coverage of him as an individual, so fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:NOTINHERITED. ~dom Kaos~ ( talk) 10:16, 2 April 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete a non-notable musician. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 14:11, 2 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep the article claims one of his pieces won a grammy award. If that can be confirmed that woukd be a pass of one of the criteria of WP:NMUSIC (only one criteria needed), imv Atlantic306 ( talk) 00:12, 6 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • I agree, albeit I've searched the Grammy archives and couldn't find anything under his name or albums. PK650 ( talk) 23:02, 20 April 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Keep (for now): Evidence the subject passes WP:NMUSIC #1, possibly #4, #5, #6, possibly #7, certainly #8, and possibly #10. I would like to find more independent and non-promotional sources but we should not determine against stand alone status when search results may be biased. I was "almost" persuaded by Atlantic306 to !vote delete, because a "week keep" on rumors is not compelling, but three Grammy's are. The current poor shape of the article is not a determining factor but a promotional tone is evident. This is not detrimental as it can be resolved by editing. See comments below.

I did not find anything on winning a Grammy. I did find the subjects name mentioned,
The subject is mentioned as "world-renowned":
The subject was billed as "world renowned":
The three references on the article (out of 4) to "Domo Music Group" is primary sourcing (counts as one towards notability), and I still have not found direct sources for the three Grammy nominations, just that they are presented as existing. I think the evidence is compelling that notability is more than fleeting. I found a possibly not-so-reliable source (so will not list it) that the subject was ranked in the top 15 in the world. If someone found this it would corroborate "world renowned". Otr500 ( talk) 10:10, 11 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep per WP:BARE and WP:SIGCOV. It sounds like a contradiction, but he barely scrapes by with significant coverage. Bearian ( talk) 02:36, 16 April 2020 (UTC) reply
