Dubious notability. Sources are not significant or independent. Ei1sos (talk) 23:35, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * There are six independent sources. Do you care to read the articles that you nominate? Candy  o32  - Happy New Year :) 23:39, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * FIVE, and none of them WP:RS -  do  you care to  follow the links you  see on  pages?--Kudpung (talk) 16:47, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - No reliable sources, only  dubious web sites and logs, no  significant coverage, no  coverage in  mainstream  press. Fails WP:BAND. Notability is not asserted.--Kudpung (talk) 16:51, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete and Salt: Frankly, I don't know what the previous closing admin was thinking; he closed as a "no consensus" based on two Keeps, one claiming that a song the subject wrote was on "Radio Disney"'s top 30 list, one claiming he passes the GNG. Let's see.  Of the sources presented in the article, one is a broken link, one is from his high school's website, two are from his indie record label's website, one doesn't mention him at all, and the last is from a radio station's website.  These are the selfsame sources on offer on the previous close.  I can't imagine what in there anyone fancies comes within a mile of the GNG, myself, and would be interested in Candyo32 explaining what ones in there do.  I recommend salting because of the huge number of anon IPs who've edited (and, often, vandalized) in the last year.   Ravenswing  21:11, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete for now. He's not completely unknown, but the sourcing currently does not establish notability.  Pages from his record label are clearly not independent, and only serve to confirm basic facts, and do not establish notability.  Hi school newspaper is not a reliable source.  The broken link is something that was originally from Examiner.com which is not a reliable source.  The only reliable source that contributes to notability is the short radio station profile.  He is mentioned in quite a few places, but not with significant coverage.  The most substantial that I could find was a short bit here.  Perhaps when he has actually released an album, the situaton may change, but at this point, he does not meet the inclusion criteria for Wikipedia. -- Whpq (talk) 14:12, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - clear delete.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:48, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless better sources are presented. Not to sound like a broken record, but as of now, the article's sources include the artist's record label (twice), which is not independent of the subject; an Examiner page (which is broken and unreliable anyway); a high school newspaper (The Talon); and an All Access page that contains no information on the subject. None of these help the artist in terms of meeting WP:GNG. I believe his song "Spending All My Time" did receive some radio airplay, but I can not find an independent, reliable source to confirm. As for meeting criterion 1 of WP:MUSICBIO, I found the same story as Whpq, and it looks to come from Billboard, and the subject is mentioned in a paragraph near the end of |1&Ne=125&N=126&Ntt=Aaron%20Fresh#/news/bieber-mania-sparks-search-for-the-next-1004094853.story the article. I also found some stuff from teen mags like J-14 and Twist. Anything else?  Gongshow  Talk 04:47, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
