 * Delete: there are very few references to him online, and those which do exist only appear to consider him notable as the brother of someone famous. WP:NOTINHERITED. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 17:07, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete.  Too soon (if ever).  – Athaenara  ✉  18:22, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete all hype, no substance as of yet. Apparing in a dancing show is not enough to make one notable, maybe winning Dancing With the Stars Ireland, but not being a contestant alone.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:08, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not yet meet any criterion in WP:MUSICBIO, and I have found no coverage that makes him meet WP:BASIC. Sam Sailor 03:12, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I would argue that appearing on the most watched television programme in Ireland IS enough to make someone notable. The nomination for deletion, feels a little xenophobic, because Ireland is a small country their notable people are deemed inadequate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sockie16 (talk • contribs) 13:09, 11 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. Jake Carter (Musician) has been updated to include his chart success, validating his notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sockie16 (talk • contribs) 13:28, 11 December 2017 (UTC)   — Note to closing admin: Sockie16 (talk • contribs)  is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.
 * the iTunes chart is not considered an important chart per WP:BADCHARTS. Social media such as Twitter and YouTube are not generally considered reliable sources, particularly if they are the subject's own social media pages, and The Sun is also deemed a poor quality source as a tabloid newspaper. So the only good source in the article at present is the Belfast Telegraph. There's nothing xenophobic about the nomination, it's the lack of good quality independent sources that are the problem.

 * Sources have been updated to include Irish Independent, Irish Examiner and rte.ie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sockie16 (talk • contribs) 16:01, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
