Advertorially-toned WP:BLP of a musician, with no strong claim to notability per WP:NMUSIC and no substantive reliable source coverage to support it. The strongest claim here is that he reached #1 on a music blog aggregator's charts — but we only permit IFPI-certified charts such as Billboard — and the only non-primary and non-bloggy source here is a 43-word blurb in Q. Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which emerging musicians are entitled to advertise themselves — it's an encyclopedia, on which the notability and the media coverage have to already be there or else it's WP:TOOSOON. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when his notability and sourceability improve. Bearcat (talk) 00:20, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

 * This appears to good in-depth coverage of his EP, so I'm changing my vote to a weak keep. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī😎 01:25, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Line of Best Fit is a blog, so it's not a source that can count toward WP:GNG. It's one of the more reputable music blogs and has several named contributors rather than just one, so it falls in the class of blogs that would be acceptable for some supplementary sourcing of facts after GNG had already been met by better sources — but it can't carry a person over GNG if it's the best, or the only, source there is.

 * Delete at best as still none of this solidly better satisfying the applicable notability. SwisterTwister   talk  21:39, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
