Questionable notability, only one citation provided, appears to be a vanity page. Mansheimer (talk) 15:41, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: there's no evidence of anything that would pass the criteria listed at WP:MUSICIAN. He's worked with plenty of people, but notability is not inherited. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 19:04, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: The page requires editing to make notability clearer, and formatting and citation fixes but the subject is notable, particularly for his documentation of the punk scene in Toronto.--Smallison (talk) 13:59, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep he has a lengthy staff wrtten bio at AllMusic here as well as a review of one of his tracks, and there is reliable sources book coverage already referenced in the article. He passes WP:BASIC in my view so deletion is unnecessary, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:26, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:09, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: He's more notable as a music journalist and critic than as a musician. He's interviewed in oral histories about the Canadian punk scene, including On a Cold Road: Tales of Adventure in Canadian Rock (2011) and Treat Me Like Dirt: An Oral History of Punk in Toronto and Beyond 1977-1981 (2011). — Toughpigs (talk) 18:18, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: The improvements made since listing for AfD are a good start, and I simply don't see a reason to delete a sizable and informative encyclopedia article.--Concertmusic (talk) 20:37, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
