Not notable. Wholly unreferenced so no evidence of any notability - refs quoted are own blogs. Simply a puff piece.  Velella  Velella Talk 21:38, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete No offense to the subject, but this is a minor local celebrity, nothing more. Even discounting the unreliable sources, I can find nothing that would establish notability under WP:BAND. § FreeRangeFrog croak 03:57, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't find anything that indicates meeting our guidleines for inclusion. — sparklism  hey! 09:35, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Moving to Keep per the sources demonstrated below. How I missed this, I'll never know...Thanks. — sparklism  hey! 08:54, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep, I too didn't think there was much credibility, but it apperars his last album was shortlisted for a national award early this year. I'll update the article with the information I have found. FruitMonkey (talk) 09:17, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Update I have now removed the offending cites, added more credible cites. Added information regarding major acts he has toured with in the past year. Review from a major UK magazine, his collaborations with other more notable musicians, back story and his nomination for Wales Album of the year. He does appear more 'up-and-coming' than here, but I believe it now shows enough notability. FruitMonkey (talk) 12:02, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Sadly, I don't think one criterion of WP:MUSICBIO is there. Hekerui (talk) 19:24, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. There's probably enough coverage already cited in the article to meet WP:GNG and criterion 1 of WP:MUSICBIO, and there's plenty more out there, e.g. The Fly, Interview magazine, Huffington Post, Liverpool Echo, Out, WalesOnline, plus plenty more examples of briefer coverage. --Michig (talk) 06:51, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I looked at those and must say blog mentions and interviews do not significant coverage make. Most importantly, no music has charted. Hekerui (talk) 09:10, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * None of them are blogs other than the Huffington Post one. Charting is only one indication of notability. Not charting doesn't make an artist non-notable. --Michig (talk) 09:13, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * There's also an Allmusic bio. --Michig (talk) 09:19, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I stopped looking after finding the coverage above, but there's plenty more, e.g. Londonist, Daily Star, Music Week, Next magazine. --Michig (talk) 09:44, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep per Michig and the Jon O'Brien biography on Allmusic. I also notice that in the past fortnight Bright Light Bright Light have featured in both the Guardian/Observer critics' best of 2012 and their readers' choice on their blog. AllyD (talk) 19:56, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - sufficient coverage for this act, in my view, from the sources in the article and others identified during this discussion to meet WP:MUSICBIO criterion #1.  Gong   show  20:02, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
