The result was   delete. After two relistings, guideline based consensus to delete outweighs keep based on a) insufficient coverage in reliable sources and b) being an "interesting chap" is not a BLP criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. Philg88 ♦talk 10:31, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Unsourced BLP that has been here for nearly four years without sources. From the first ten pages of Google results and first five pages of GNews results I didn't find enough to convince me of notability. This appears to be a press release. There are a few brief mentions in Billboard:, , ,. This from a local newspaper contains the most in-depth coverage I could find. Michig (talk) 12:45, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - Interesting chap; he's doing a show in LA at the moment with Raiding the rock vault -  Brookie :)  { - he's in the building somewhere!}  (Whisper...) 11:45, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * The article is completely unsourced. As you created the article with significant content but no sources and added details such as date of birth, could you indicate where you found those details please? Thanks. --Michig (talk) 08:46, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Sometimes the notability question is a close call. Not in this case. Op47 (talk) 20:35, 3 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - Billboard is usually considered reliable as a source. Bearian (talk) 20:33, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Nobody has suggested otherwise, and that isn't the issue being discussed here. The Billboard coverage tells us that he was the MD of publishing/plugging company Rive Droite, and then quit to start Private and Confidential Music, neither of which appear notable, and that's about all we have. --Michig (talk) 08:09, 11 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete, Billboard is usually notable, but in this case the coverage is not substantial enough to help us build a coherent biography of this living person. Lankiveil (speak to me) 00:09, 14 September 2014 (UTC).
