 * Delete Not sure how Irish he is (!), but agree about non-notability: the only source cited is the person's own bio, and a Google search finds not a single secondary source, let alone sigcov. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:21, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: delete per nom. The only Irish connection seems to be working with Clannad. ww2censor (talk) 13:25, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep : Improvements have been made. And he's not Irish: he lives in Germany and works across Europe and North America.  He's not particularly Scottish either, if you listen to him.  And for some reason, my search on Google turned up a bunch of references.  Go figure.  Djdaedalus (talk) 16:09, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Feel free to add those refs you found; if they demonstrate significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, they could be material in saving this article. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:37, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep as he does have a staff written bio at AllMusic here as well as an album review there as well as the German piece referenced in the article. Haven't done a full search, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:23, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - With respect to my longtime colleague Atlantic306, the AllMusic bio is a good start but describes Melrose as a sideman in the works of others. His biographical info could be relevant in articles about his groups Twilight and Be Mine or Run, but WP does not have articles on those groups. (There are at least two other bands called Twilight). As an individual, Melrose does not have the independent coverage necessary for notability. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 16:28, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
