Deprodded by the author without addressing the concern, which is the almost complete lack of coverage in reliable secondary sources despite 57 references cited in the article. The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. Rentier (talk) 01:53, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. At a conservative estimate, at least half the citations aren't about the subject of the article at all, but merely relate to other people mentioned in the article. The ones specifically about the subject of the article all seem to be from self-published sources (e.g. Discogs, which is not WP:RS for demonstrating WP:NOTABILITY); or in one case, a brief review by a journalist who'd been sent a freebie EP. None of those citations provides anything like the independent in-depth coverage needed to pass WP:BIO.
 * I ran a search. I found several social websites, but absolutely no third-party coverage at all which was specifically about him.
 * (I note in passing that the article was created by a WP:SPA.) Narky Blert (talk) 18:54, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I knew there was a guideline somewhere about reference-stuffing in the hope of making an article look notable - WP:BOMBARD. Narky Blert (talk) 19:02, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
