Highly advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician with no properly substantiated or reliably sourced claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. This is actually so egregiously bad that literally the only reason I'm not speedying it as a blatant advertisement is that it's been around for over a decade -- but in that entire time, the only "reference" that has ever been added at all is a directly affiliated WordPress blog, not a reliable or notability-supporting source. Three other sources were offered in the first discussion, back in 2010, as "proof" of his notability — but two of those three other sources are dead links whose former content is entirely unverifiable, a third is a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article that isn't about him, and the blog is the only one that actually made it into the article at all. A WordPress blog is not a reliable source for the purposes of establishing the notability of a musician, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt his referencing from having to be much, much better than this.
