Non-notable musical act, scant sourcing and no indication of notability (singing around a local pub isn't GNG). Oaktree b (talk) 20:20, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks for taking a look at the article. I disagree with the claim of the subject being 'non-notable' and 'scant sourcing'. However, to address the claim of 'no indication of notability' I have added two more sources so that there are three references to three articles in prominent music magazines (The Quietus, Loud and Quiet, Line of Best Fit) which are all primarily about the subject. Furthermore, there are five album reviews. Lastly, there is the article from Far Out. Hopefully this addresses your concerns. Alfredsph (talk) 14:39, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Also added a Guardian review. Alfredsph (talk) 14:49, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Also added review from Irish News Alfredsph (talk) 22:03, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * KEEP Ok, since there hasn't been much discussion on this, I would like to make the case why this article should not be deleted. I believe that the criticisms made by Oaktree b were not valid at the time he made them and are not valid now.
 * First, the subject is notable as per WP:N. He has been the subject of multiple, significant articles in reliable sources. In particular, there are three in-depth profiles featuring in the Quietus, Loud and Quiet and Line of Best Fit. These three publications are all considered reliable as per WP:MUSIC/SOURCE.
 * Oaktree b claims that the article has 'scant sourcing'. I disagree. Apart from the three aforementioned profiles, the articles cites many reviews. There are in-depth album reviews from The Quietus, Line of Best Fit, Loud and Quiet and DIY, which are all regarded reliable as per WP:MUSIC/SOURCE. Furthermore, there are articles from the Irish News, God is in the TV and Far Out, but I cannot find consensus on the reliability of these sources. There is also a review in the Guardian which mentions Fendrix's music twice, though its fair to say that this on its own doesn't establish notability.
 * Finally, Oaktree b claims 'singing around a local pub isn't GNG', referring to the mention of the Windmill pub. Again, this is mistaken. Jerskin Fendrix' relation to the Windmill pub is given significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject (as per WP:GNG) which are cited appropriately.
 * As a result, I believe that none of the criticisms raised by Oaktree b have any merit and that this article should not have been flagged for deletion discussion. I vote to Keep the article. Alfredsph (talk) 11:47, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. I believe the sources, , and - which are currently present in the article - are GNG compliant. Considering those 3, and the in-depth (but possibly not wholly independent) interviews , I think there is more than sufficient sourcing to maintain the article. — Sirdog (talk) 21:53, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
