 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Ok, so music is out, but does he hit on NSPORTS?
 * Comment - He has been in some documented pro darts competitions, so I will leave it to the experts on sports articles to determine if he is notable in that realm. However, in no way whatsoever does this guy deserve to be described as a working musician, and I will remove those unsupported claims from his article.

 * Delete - Darts doesn't have a SNG. Competing in the UK Open means nothing as anyone with a pulse can qualify for that event. Cox fails GNG. Dougal18 (talk) 17:00, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Above, I avoided a vote because I was new to the guidelines for sports articles (my area is music). But after learning more about the requirements at WP:NSPORTS and investigating Mr. Cox's shortage of media notice beyond basic entries in directories of darts dudes, I will endorse Dougal18's vote and recommend deletion as well.

 * He has participated in darts events, and won a Professional Darts Corporation Tour Card, which isn't easy to do. That alone means he should stay, and has played in majors, such as the UK Open. The rules need to be more stringent for darts players. Arguably on the same logic, most footballers' accounts should be deleted on the same opinion. Cox, amongst others, are professionals and have participated in televised events. That alone should keep him.JRRobinson (talk) 15:37, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
