Non-notable local musician. I can find very little about him in reliable sources. Almost everything is primary promotional sources with an occasional bit of coverage by local small newspapers and other local media. Ridernyc (talk) 20:17, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Not the most distinguished singer-songwriter, but I think the following four sources add up to meeting WP:MUSICIAN, if only by a hair. (Disclaimer: I have one of Berlin's songs on iTunes, so I may be biased toward keeping). Jinkinson   talk to me  01:08, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Please explain how this in particular is a reliable source that establishes notability . I think your sources range from marginal at best, to downright comically short. We have a blog, a local newspaper calander of events, a very short article on a local newspapers website, and I'm not even sure what robertchristgau.com is. Ridernyc (talk) 04:12, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * @User:Ridernyc: The article Robert Christgau explains who he is. — sparklism hey! 11:07, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, the existence of Christgau reviews is probably the most notable source in that bunch. Mrmctorso (talk) 15:55, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes but when checking the link provided all I see are a few listing of reviews, no reviews. Yes it appears he war reviewed by a notable reviewer, in some notable publications but really all we have are a few listings.  We are still way short of the GNG.  Ridernyc (talk) 16:47, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
