Eric Stanley (violinist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Stanley has performed a lot and been interviewed a lot, but there are no reliable, independent, secondary sources demonstrating notability. The majority of his cited performances were seemingly during a brief period of popularity around 2011. The only argument I can really see for notability is WP:NMUSIC item #12, "has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.". But I am not sure I would classify his appearances as substantial and they certainly don't meet WP:ENTERTAINER. 217IP (talk) 03:15, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have discussed WP:GNG guidelines with some others and feel I better understand the intentions behind it now. I believe this article should probably be kept because he has been the subject of reliable, independent, secondary sources regardless of whether he meets guidelines for notability in WP:NMUSIC. 217IP (talk) 21:04, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, This artist is in the early stages of their career, therefore the article won't be as full, however he is notable and has a single, although I don't know if it has charted or not. Also, the nominator has stated the article should instead be kept. CDRL102 (talk) 22:50, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep: Subject meets 10 & 12 of WP:BAND. Has significant coverage from independent, secondary sources. Passes WP:GNG. – 323 MU  (talk) 22:44, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
