Daniel J. Gallardo

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The notability claim here is that the music exists, which is not an automatic free pass over NMUSIC in and of itself, and the sourcing isn't getting him over WP:GNG at all: there's his own self-published website, the self-published Instagram profile of one of his collaborators, two YouTube videos, three glancing namechecks of Gallardo's existence in sources whose primary subject is the collaborator rather than Gallardo himself, and the self-published website of a directly affiliated organization, which means eight of the nine sources are doing absolutely nothing whatsoever to establish notability. And while the one remaining source is a piece of media coverage, it's a "local musician plays on the beach" blurb published by his local television station, which is not substantive enough to get him over the bar all by itself if it's the only piece of media coverage he has. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 13:51, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete: Seems to me like a WP:TOOSOON case. A 22 year old drummer finding local success, looks like one song with a celebrity artist, minimal coverage in news, not to a level meeting WP:RS sources. Would change this vote if more news articles are identified, google search 8/2021 found nothing new. CosmicNotes (talk) 01:27, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, as I'm unable to find substantive coverage in reliable sources. Vanamonde (Talk) 21:33, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

At this point is seems like you have to be a grammy award winner for the rules to be fullfiled.***
 * The page was still under development and I will appreciate a step-by-step guide for a non-develeper mode person - how to make a page about an artist at their early stage.
