Joey Only

Highly advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician, with no strong claim to passage of WP:NMUSIC and no strong reliable source coverage to get him over WP:GNG in lieu. The strongest notability claim here is topping a genre chart in !earshot, but earshot is a non-IFPI-certified WP:BADCHART that does not count toward NMUSIC's charting criterion. The only other thing here is that he toured, but NMUSIC #4 is not automatically passed by every artist whose article just says they toured -- it requires you to show evidence that he got a GNG-worthy volume of reliable source coverage about the tour (e.g. concert reviews), but those are entirely absent. Of the just four footnotes here, one is the section of CBC Radio 3's website that used to allow artists to upload their own music and EPKs for publicity purposes and one is his own self-written and self-published press release, so neither of them represent notability-assisting coverage — and of the two hits that do represent real third person journalism in real media, one is a short blurb in an alt-weekly. So there's only one genuinely strong source (Saskatoon Star-Phoenix) on offer here, and that's not enough to get him over the bar. Bearcat (talk) 15:59, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom; his coverage in No Depression and Exclaim! was of the press release variety. Caro7200 (talk) 17:10, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
