Subject fails wp:GNG and WP:ENT for lack of multiple, independent third-party sources. Up and coming artist, but WP:TOOSOON applies. Has not had multiple significant roles, nor a cult following, and has not yet made "Unique, prolific, or innovative contributions" to the field. The Variety source is good, but the balance of sources are advertisements and show schedules. One can be successful without being encyclopedically notable.

 * Agreed. I'm not seeing much of anything beyond the Variety article in the way of reliable sources, and the use of an entry on a "People to watch" list--as in, people who aren't famous/notable yet, but might become so in the future--as the sole source to establish notability does not inspire confidence. I see some other minor things from an incident in October where apparently he acted like a jerk to Bill Nye, but I don't see much more than a few blogs; nothing that would stand as a reliable source. So, yeah, delete, at least right now. Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 20:05, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
