GNews turns up zilch in English. The cited MySpace account and official website are not enough to establish notability per WP:MUSIC, and his records are with a company which does not have an article on Wikipedia. Tyrenon (talk) 07:44, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep: Meets #1 and #2 at WP:MUSICBIO by having charted on a national music chart and by receiving significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. --JD554 (talk) 12:47, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you could add those to the article as well as the AfD? — Bdb484 (talk) 16:24, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I have already added the chart position which is sufficient to show notability per WP:MUSICBIO. That said, WP:BEFORE states: "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD." So even if I hadn't, I have shown that the article could be improved and so it shouldn't be deleted whether I've improved it or not. --JD554 (talk) 20:16, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not contesting that; it's just been my experience that when I can find sources, the nominating editor will usually withdraw the AfD if I add them and bring the article up to standards on my own. Your call. — Bdb484 (talk) 21:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * And as I said above, I already have. --JD554 (talk) 05:45, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I only see one of them, but whatevs. — Bdb484 (talk) 05:50, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
