Greg Drummond (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a musician with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, and based entirely on primary sources, blogs and small-town weekly newspapers with no indication of sufficient reliable source coverage in the types of sources it takes to satisfy WP:GNG. Wikipedia is not a place where every musician automatically gets an article just because he exists; certain specific markers of achievement have to be attained, and a certain specific quality of sourcing (i.e. medium-to-large-market dailies, music magazines on the order of Rolling Stone, Spin or Exclaim!, etc.) has to be demonstrated, before he becomes eligible. (And no, the CBC Music profile does not cover the sourcing piece off — that's a section of their website where any musician who wants to make a song or two available for streaming gets to upload their own self-penned PR bio to accompany the songs, so it does not represent the CBC covering him in the sense that's necessary for our purposes.) Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when his notability and/or sourceability improve. Bearcat (talk) 05:50, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Local awards and coverage, nothing else convincing he's independently notable. SwisterTwister   talk  07:29, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
