No evidence of notability. The references cited do not provide any substantial third part coverage in reliable sources. For example, http://www.wjdxfm.com/new2/featured/f/3115 says "© 2010 Barry Southgate", so it is not an independent source. Not only does the page http://www.frontiertouring.com/brianmcknight contain no mention of him, but using the web site's search facility for "Barry Southgate" produces the message "No results were found". http://www.theopenhouse.net.au/cgi-bin/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=1&search=barry+southgate+ barely mentions him. http://www.shadedblaque.com/blog/shaded-blaque-approved-the-melodic-sounds-of-barry-southgate/ is a blog. http://thecsperspective.com/about/ is a personal web site run by "two friends", and not a reliable source. And so it goes on... JamesBWatson (talk) 10:43, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmmm He did play the role of Customer in a Power Rangers Ninja Storm episode, isn't that notable? I didn't think so.  Delete as failing general notability in spite of bad references.  May just be too soon.  Dennis Brown (talk) 12:31, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment The Brian McKnight site is an example of the difficulty of linking to some sites. Click the "Special Guests" tab for the text about Southgate being cited. (It's not much, but it does exist.) - Dravecky (talk) 14:42, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - The main contributor seems very eager to have this artist included on Wikipedia, but unfortunately the subject lacks coverage in reliable third party sources. As Dennis Brown points out, possibly just too soon. VQuakr (talk) 23:08, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Userfiy- User is eager to get this page out, but it's too early. Page should be moved into userspace, so that the user can work on it.--Breawycker (talk to me!) Review Me! 23:35, 16 May 2011 (UTC) Changing to Delete per below
 * Why? Is there evidence of notability? If not then it should be deleted. If there is then what evidence, where? "User is eager to get this page out" is not a reason for keeping.JamesBWatson (talk) 07:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
