Michael Fortunati

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a tricky one. This man is obviously a living, real person and he has clearly released close to a dozen albums on an actual (albeit small) label. However, the only references are to Discogs.com, an album/track listing site.There is also, a circular reference back to this article (in other words, the article references the article, which references the article, which ... etc.).

I have checked Google Books and found no deeper references to *this* Michael Fortunati (some unrelated Michael Fortunatis). I have checked JSTOR and found no references to this Michael Fortunati. I have checked Google News and found no references to this Michael Fortunati. I have checked newspapers.com and found no references to this Michael Fortunati. The only RS I can find is this BBC artist reference page (https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/7c847428-9a77-4977-b8d6-1a021b9ab967) which, again, is just a track listing.

Since he doesn't meet the criteria for WP:MUSICBIO, and in the absence of even a single source which provide biographical coverage (as opposed to merely proof of life), I think this needs to be deleted. Chetsford (talk) 03:47, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
