Obvious promotional piece; no proof of notability. Playing a few gigs with the Goo Goo Dolls does not guarantee notability in itself. Stonemason89 (talk) 04:23, 30 July 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:03, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete He meets WP:MUSICBIO #7 as he is in the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame (not mentioned in article) and seems to be a big deal in Buffalo but that's it. The radio station he is on isn't national, so it doesn't meet #11. Overall, though I don't he meets notability.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:16, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep per WP:MUSICBIO #7, as NortyNort mentioned. Since he meets that part of the criteria, he is notable enough to have an article. --Slon02 (talk) 02:29, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep – "Lance Diamond" + "Buffalo" gets 217 hits in my library's database. Now, it looks as if many are just gig listings—but many are not. I would argue "weak keep" in this kind of case where pretty much all of the articles are in local press, The Buffalo News, but the fact that articles span two decades counts for something, in my view: as we are both a general and a specialized encyclopedia, a singer that really does seem to be a "big deal" in a medium-sized city ought to be covered in Wikipedia.
