Non-notable musician, Google search turned up third-party sources. Fails WP:MUSIC. sixty nine  • whaddya want? •  04:56, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment I did a Google search and personally did not find anything notable. Anyway, the second "keep" vote merely repeats the sources listed by the article author, not to mention AllMusic is already cited in the article but doesn't automatically establish notability, as anyone can submit an artist biography. thequietus.com and tinymixtapes don't appear to be viable sources. sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  23:51, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Allmusic doesn't automatically establish notability; nobody ever claimed it did. But it is a reliable source with editorial control - anyone can submit an artist bio, but they are selective in which artists they publish (editor-written) bios for, and they review albums like a magazine does. The Quietus and Tiny Mix Tapes are both major third-party review sites; WP:ALBUMS's list does not identify all possible usable album sources (which it says at the top, explicitly), and The Quietus is actually on that list.

 * Ok. I'd never heard of either one of them until just recently. sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  04:01, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Subject meets WP:MUSICBIO as his works have been reviewed in multiple reliable sources, as shown by the above sources.  gongshow  talk  10:54, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
