Looks to fail GNG and NMUSICIAN. There are some mentions of him out there but only in unreliable sources, and even then there is no in-depth discussion. Article is also very promotional in tone. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk  13:40, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: I haven't done a complete WP:BEFORE search, but I did find significant coverage in a Chicago Reader article. There is also a very short review from the Chicago Tribune. Otherwise, there is some minor coverage elsewhere, like this Chicago Reader article, this brief local volunteer newspaper mention, and a short AllMusic bio. I don't see enough for GNG yet, but more sources might be out there.Not really within the scope of this discussion itself, but it may also be worth looking into the notability of E.C. Illa LP as well. — MarkH21talk 14:31, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak delete: Since I still haven't found a complete case for WP:GNG or WP:NMUSICIAN yet. Plus, the existing article is basically completely unreferenced anyways. — MarkH21talk 16:02, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Page appears to contain legitimate historical facts about the artist. Unsure what the issue might be. Keep page up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:248:501:26e0:2c17:3cb6:b9a2:2f67 (talk • contribs) 02:25, 24 April 2021 (UTC) — 2601:248:501:26e0:2c17:3cb6:b9a2:2f67 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete I don't know where most of the information in the article is coming from - none of it is cited, and the only sources linked are a couple of brief bios on Discogs and AllMusic which support hardly any of the content. Agree with the nom that the writing is very promotional, but that could be addressed if there were better sources; I can't find anything giving the subject significant coverage though, so I suspect it's a GNG/NMUSIC fail.
