Roark (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. The single source the article cites is a local news piece and I can't find any significant coverage of the musician or the band he was in. Two songs appearing in TV episodes does not establish notability either. Lennart97 (talk) 11:51, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete A rather week claim of notability as a musician, and after more than a dozen years there's nothing in the article to support a claim of notability and nothing more found in a Google search. Alansohn (talk) 13:59, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: this is clearly an autobiography, but there are two brief reviews of his debut album in Exclaim! from 2007, . Not sure if two short reviews from the same publication is enough to establish notability or not. This appears to be the only album he ever released, so if kept this is likely to remain a permastub, as almost none of the biographical details in the current version of the article can be confirmed.

 * Good find, thanks! I'd say that as these are indeed (very) brief and from just one publication, they're not quite enough. Lennart97 (talk) 17:41, 8 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete- I don't see any sign of notability. 2603:7000:2143:8500:C9B5:26EE:1835:4594 (talk) 17:30, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
