This is an article about a living musician who appears to fail WP:N, WP:MUSIC, and WP:BIO. His only full CD is self-published and is sold through his website. He has appeared in individual tracks of other CDs, but I can't find any professional criticism of his playing, or any in-depth discussion of him as a person, which makes him fail WP:N and WP:BIO. No suitable coverage can be found of him on google news (note that there's a football/soccer player that shares his name). The minimal coverage that he has recieved is trivial. Also note the possible conflict of interest with the article's creator: User:Bagpipediscs.  Them From  Space  20:41, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. It fails the general notability guideline, and almost no reliable sources say anything about this guy. His recording isn't even sold on sites such as amazon.com, walmart.com, etc. Tim  meh  !  02:05, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for failure to meet WP:MUSIC and bearing a stagnant whiff of WP:VSCA. Eddie.willers (talk) 02:09, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
