There's just so many things wrong with this article, it's not even funny. The references given are difficult to hunt down; only two (maybe?) separate newspapers. The article was likely written by the subject, as per others' tagging it thusly. The external links are either his own sites or definitely biased. My own cursory Yahoo seach (seen on the talk page) was very short: only one page could actually be identified as relating to him, and it was a list of his podcast on a website with unknown notability or prominence. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 00:02, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable. JuJube (talk) 01:28, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete His claims to fame are distinctly unnotable. Notice that googling on "Azusa Street Music School" produces his website, an ad, and the Wikipedia page. . RayAYang (talk) 04:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are a number of references from two newspapers in Michigan (Pioneer Newspaper and Osceola Edition) which do not put their full text online. However, they appear to be reliable sources. See http://www.pioneergroup.com/newspapers/ Yes, there are a lot of things wrong with the article and yes, this person is not very important in the whole scheme of things, but I think he is notable by Wiikipedia standards. --Eastmain (talk) 15:11, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm sure he's a great guy and musician, but the references given are not exactly the kind that we seek in the "notability" category. Should his career or musical impact broaden (or additional noteworthy information be presented) I'd be happy to change my stance.  Until then, Wikipedia is not a directory of budding musicians.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - The Azusa Street Music School appears to be of little notability and the description on Jane's website indicates that it may be more of a personal project than a professional school, and there appear to be no secondary sources to prove its notability. WP:BIO requires more than trivial coverage by secondary sources, and I don't see that from the secondary sources mentioned in the "keep" comment above. More specifically, no requirement listed by WP:CREATIVE is met here. Okiefromokla questions? 02:51, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
