 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. I could almost flip a coin on this one. The delete "!voters" and the nom make sound arguments but Metropolitan90's mention of possible non English sources provide just enough reasonable doubt for a no consensus close. If those sources are evaluated and turn out to be sub par then no prejudice against a quick renomination. Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:41, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

no real claim to notability, charts are not goodcharts, award minor, lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. nothing satisfying wp:music. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:46, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep – released five or so albums on a notable label, Tower Records, toured internationally to festivals in Europe and US. Sure, the article needs work but the subject is notable enough.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:19, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * His albums are on the Blues Breaking Records label, not Tower. That Tower linked in the article is just a shop. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:31, 2 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - The subject is highly notable, and has traveled the international circuit for over 30 years as an accomplished musician/composer. Has released numerous "highly accredited" recordings with Tower Records. https://sites.google.com/site/gerryjoeweise/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by ALICANDONO (talk • contribs) — ALICANDONO (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * 'Keep - has toured internationally & released recordings on notable label. Has obviously had significant airplay in numerous countries. Dan arndt (talk) 10:09, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * What notable label? Blues Breaking Records is a red link. There is a lack of coverage for the touring. How is it obvious? duffbeerforme (talk) 13:54, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, I want to say "notable because of WP:MUSIC, point four", but there is strangely little independent information anywhere that I could find on him. There does seem to be a lot of blog entries about him, whether that's genuine coverage or some heavy-duty astroturfing I'm not sure.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:22, 9 June 2012 (UTC).
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Black Kite (talk) 01:54, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. I would give the subject the benefit of the doubt as to notability because his name comes up with valid Google News hits in four languages (English, French, Polish, and Portuguese) reflecting performances in multiple countries. That may not be a WP:MUSIC criterion itself but it leads me to think that he probably meets at least one WP:MUSIC criterion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:35, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - I can find no significant independent reliable sources to establish notability. With respect to releasing aklbums on a major label or significant indie label, he has not as Tower Records is acting as a distributor for the label that he released on.  With respect to international coverage, what I could find was only concert announcements and listings.  As for touring internationally, there appears to be no coverage about his touring.  What I see is a working musician.  nothing worng with that but that isn't sufficient to meet inclusion criteria. -- Whpq (talk) 16:40, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
