Carlos Rios (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:MUSICBIO, with Rios mostly mentioned in passing or listed in a group of musicians. I found only one little-seen article dedicated to him in depth at the Jazz Guitar Today online magazine. Starting in September 2021, worked on the initial draft article which failed AfC four times because of notability problems. Thedailyneedle stopped editing in November, and in December the account was created, working on the same material. Two months ago, Theqtipfont blanked the draft and created the biography in mainspace, despite ongoing concerns about notability. Binksternet (talk) 16:28, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - as I said when I prodded it, he's a journeyman musician, who gets some mentions, but zero in-depth coverage about him to indicate he passes WP:GNG, and does not meet WP:MUSICBIO.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:16, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sources with significant coverage. I noticed that he co-wrote one of the songs on the Lucky Man album, which has a gold certificate, but I don't think this is enough to serve WP:MUSICBIO. The certificate is for the album as a whole, not the single. ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 03:51, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * He co-wrote the Lionel Richie hit Dancing on the Ceiling which for me would meet #1 of WP:COMPOSER but I am struggling to find much coverage. Vladimir.copic (talk) 10:23, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
