 * Comment for UK editors: this Ian Moore is not the same Ian Moore as the Cambridge Buskers musician, who began his musical career as Ian Moore but is now Ian de Massini (and almost certainly notable). Elemimele (talk) 10:01, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Keep as has a decent staff written bio at AllMusic here as well as four staff written album reviews there, significant coverage in Houston Press here continues on second page, and another Houston Press article here, more sig cov here. Overall there is enough coverage in reliable sources for a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:12, 31 July 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep - #5 on WP:MUSICBIO includes artists who have "released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)." He released 3 records on Capricorn Records, which is a significant indie label. A quick google search also shows that he meets #2, as he had 3 singles crack the top 25 of the the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts: https://www.billboard.com/music/ian-moore/chart-history. And, as Atlantic306 points out, he's had some significant press and reviews. The article needs expanding and improved sourcing, but, per WP:NEXIST, you can't judge notability of the subject based solely on the content of the article.
