Non-notable musician who fails WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG. The references used are mostly memorials or related to the subject; the two potentially valid sources cited are AllMusic and Billboard, but neither site turns up a result. PROD by Gbawden and contested by SwishFanUSA, who later blanked the article and proposed it for deletion as  WP:G7, a criteria which doesn't apply as he/she isn't the page's author. (DGG reverted his/her edit.) JSFarman (talk) 16:29, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

 * I suggested to JSF that he bring this here, as he had tried to deal with the problems against apparent opposition. I can't attempt to judge notability in this subject, but this clearly is not a suitable article as it stands.  DGG ( talk ) 20:14, 25 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete I've declined another speedy on it, as it's not a user request case unless SwishFan proves he's the creating account as well. I can see a sad story, but no real notability in it. A tragedy in childhood, a mysterious (seemingly unreferenced and subject to a gag order) legal matter, a not very successful career, a broken romance, and a drugs death. Could be the base for a plot for a film either with big names in it for the popular market, or with unknowns for the art market. But it isn't. Peridon (talk) 14:32, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - probably a hoax, created by a sock. Non-notable otherwise. PhilKnight (talk) 12:54, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per WP:CSD as having been created by a member of this sock farm. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:00, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
