Borderline G11, very obviously derived from marketing copy with little editing to make it encyclopedic (not a CV - OTRS permission on talk page). The thing is, I can't find any independent coverage of the subject. All the sources are primary, including his own website, press releases, and youtube. I found nothing substantively about him on a search. The shows don't appear to be notable either, so redirecting as WP:ATD isn't in the cards. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 06:35, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete not notable enough; search on multiple search engines turns up profile listings that scrape Wikipedia, along with his other sites. There are some sources mentioning him, but they are just passing mentions (https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/new-discovery-show-rods-n-wheels-sets-out-to-restore-cars-bring-american-history-to-life and https://www.blogtalkradio.com/chattininmanhattan/2014/03/03/cim-chats-with-casts-of-rods-n-wheels-show) A search for Twisted Gipsy turns up other sources (https://eu.jacksonville.com/story/news/local/communities/conejo-valley/2018/11/25/local-fleetwood-mac-tribute-band-headlines-borderline-benefit/2025113002/), but that's for the band and not him.
 * Article is in need of major improvement, but that is not a factor in deleting articles per WP:BEFORE Rlink2 (talk) 18:23, 28 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete Even if GNG were met, which it isn't, the article might meet WP:TNT criteria for deletion anyway. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:11, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
