I've removed some unreliable sources, and I've failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources about him. The current sources aren't great (little independent sourcing, not indepth) and don't verify all of the content. Most of the material online about him is self-published and/or promotional. I just don't think there's enough published on him in reliable sources to write a passable article. Fences &amp;  Windows  21:53, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - There is almost no coverage in reliable sources. The Kirkland Reporter article is the most substantial piece and is really about the band, but that would not establish the notability of the band much less him as a musician indpendent of the band.  There is also an unsubstantiated assertion of being the writer for 9 hit songs from the 90's.  The referencing goes to a dead site, but it does not appear to be reliable in any case.  A check of ASCAP gives this which shows no evidence of any hit songs.  These are either performed by the Ex Box Boys, or have no performer at all listed.  So no actual verifiable evidence of writing hit songs. -- Whpq (talk) 17:07, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
