 * Delete. His only album is distributed through the digital music equivalent of a vanity press ("Anyone can have their music distributed to iTunes and many other online stores for a small annual fee." according to TuneCore), his accolades are not major awards (the Three Little Bakers Dinner Theatre Idol Search?), and everything else is working as a local opening act or trivia (internship, a "backstage appearance"). Nothing comes close to meeting WP:BAND. &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 17:46, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
