This artcile came to my attention after reverting apparent vandalism here, the IP editor, possibly the subject, then posted a long message on my talk page here claiming the article was wrong and they were not a Musician but an "Alchemist, Ghostbuster, Healer, Composer and as a contributor to Mathematical Physics.". After looking at the article almost all is unsourced, and the few sources are nothing in depth. Under WP:BLP I was going to trim the unsourced material, but found little left to justify them as an indivdual musician outside the bands they were in. There current activity as a "Alchemist, Ghostbuster, Healer, Composer and as a contributor to Mathematical Physics" also does not appear to be notable (his YouTube account has 47 subscribers, his researchgate publication have 0 citations). Note they don't have an article about them on the Icelandic Wikipedia either. They appear to fail WP:BIO and WP:MUSICBIO and if all the uncited content was removed its dificult to see what would be left. KylieTastic (talk) 17:29, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Exceedingly weak keep. I don't get the sense of there being two people with the same name (at least, I think the musician and the alchemist/healer/etc are the same person), and there seems to be either a level of notability for the subject or one or the other of the bands he's been in, although it reads to me as though we're roughly at the "threshold" of notability, so we may be just below it rather than just above it. I'll keep looking for proof in either direction. Assuming that we're just above the applicable standards and that the notability applies to the man and not the band/s, the question of COI can be addressed separately. Certainly there's more out there talking about Guðlaugur playing the guitar (which makes him a guitarist, regardless of the IP's beliefs that it does nothing of the sort) than talking about him ghostbusting, for example.
