Fails WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG. Notability is not inherited; there is a mention of the subject in the band's article. Not a single third party independent source provided, and none found.  Scr ★ pIron IV 22:42, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is Jaron. all of the inline citations i've added to the page were from 3rd party sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaron Felix Patton (talk • contribs) 22:45, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Carolina Chocolate Drops and merge as needed, as the article is still questionable overall with nothing else convincing. I would hope anyone boldly starting this again if ever would be smart before any such actions. Delete as I found nothing better at all. SwisterTwister   talk  22:49, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment -As i said all of the references i've added were from third party independant sources that were not made by the artist.

 * Keep - lead member of an award-winning band. At worse, redirect. Bearian (talk) 19:56, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Note to Jaron Felix Patton The references, whether 3rd party or not, are trivial or promotional in tone and therefore do not convey notability. The first two references are paragraph-styled laundry lists of achievements, not unlike someone's resume on their LinkedIn profile. The third reference, a listing of photos of the subject, is irrelevant. The fourth reference is a promotional article from the subject's record label's blog--itself promotional in purpose--and therefore cannot be considered independent. Note to user Bearian: I agree it is acceptable to redirect to the Carolina Chocolate Drops page but I disagree that the subject is independently notable apart from this band.

 * Merge to Carolina Chocolate Drops. Sources exist, although I didn't find enough to justify a standalone article:, , , , . --Michig (talk) 06:58, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Carolina Chocolate Drops - not enough notability to warrant a standalone article.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:19, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment Hello this is Jaron, I was able to find more 3rd party sources that indicate notability, Please check them and see if they work. if not i'll try to find more, and if that fails then i guess we would need to take it down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaron Felix Patton (talk • contribs) 23:56, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete, or redirect per above. The new references are all still trivial. Just seems to fail WP:GNG at this point. Maybe in the future. –Compassionate727 (T·C) 11:12, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - I would normally push for a biographical article to be kept and reworked, but this really doesn't hold up to WP:MUSICBIO - most of the references are not notable on their own, and at least one source is a college newspaper. Garchy (talk) 14:11, 17 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge to Carolina Chocolate Drops, which will improve that article per the rather limited information about the subject in it at this time. WP:PRESERVE appropriate content. North America1000 02:33, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge any appropriate material to Carolina Chocolate Drops, and redirect. Several "delete" and the one "keep" !voters said they'd be ok with that too. -- IamNotU (talk) 14:59, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
