Subject fails WP:GNG as far as I can tell. WP:BEFORE (Newspapers.com and Google Books) turned up nothing for me but minor mentions alongside other artists in a few news articles in Richmond, Virginia. I found nothing specifically about him, or otherwise any significant coverage in WP:RS. The tone of the standing article is promotional as well. If significant coverage of him can be found I'm happy to withdraw the AfD, but I didn't see it. EnPassant♟♙ (talk) 18:10, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

 * The fact that this has existed as an unsourced article for over 13 years is not encouraging. We really need to stop letting articles exist without sources for so long.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:41, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Similar to the nominator, I found only minor mentions on Newspapers.com, nothing to sustain an article. There was very little elsewhere. Curiocurio (talk) 20:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
