This seems more like a resume' then an actual article. There has only been mild entries that like to other people instead of anything on his own. Hourick (talk) 18:43, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Reduce to stub and keep. This is a really difficult one. The nominator is right - it does read like a resume and the list of artists is excessive, unreferenced, and needs pruning. There is worse: the exact text of the article appears elsewhere so it might be a copyright violation (but then, those other articles could be mirroring Wikipedia) and it is under-referenced - of the three links only one actually works and it's not major coverage. Indeed, some of the assertions appear to fail simple checks - for example, the article states 4 GRAMMY's have been awarded, but the GRAMMY website disputes this, with only one listed (and its for a different year). Therein lies the problem: the article is clearly unreliable but even one GRAMMY award meets inclusion criteria (WP:MUSICBIO #8). My recommendation is to prune the article down to a stub containing only what is verifiably referenced, or failing that to delete with no prejudice against anyone recreating a properly referenced replacement.

 * You looked far deeper than I did and I checked quite a bit and don't AFD lightly. One award win does meet guidelines, if not a deletion, then I suggest a good amount of pruning or merging might suffice. --Hourick (talk) 20:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
