WP:BLP of a musician whose claims of notability are not properly referenced to reliable source coverage about him. His notability as a musician derives from being a member of a band, not from solo activity, and the sourcing for that consists of a social media post and a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself -- and of the five sources for his purported notability as a music marketing professional, four of them are glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things or people, and the only one that's actually about him is an employment announcement in an industry trade newsletter that doesn't really clinch his notability all by itself if it's actually the best source on offer. Literally none of this, neither in the substance nor in the sourcing, constitutes reasons why he would qualify for his own standalone article as a separate topic from the band.

 * Delete - The nominator is correct. This article appears to be a resume/CV or an attempted LinkedIn-like entry for his marketing career, insinuating that he's an interesting office worker because he's a former punk musician. Could possibly be redirected to The Starting Line if anyone thinks the guy's name is a likely search term. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 17:52, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
