1st AfD did not prove notability; but simply failed due to non-consensus. Content is not encyclopedic. Article reads as a promotional resume and advertisement for BLPs appearances. Online sources are either personal blogs, non-secondary or mere mention of BLP at best. Notability has not met guidelines due to primary source connected with BLP website, personal biography, blog, deadlink. Possible COI with certain editor(s) in history supplying information that cannot be found online or any reliable secondary source. Article is not encyclopedic, BLP is not notable. Lack of consensus should not have kept this page active.
 * COMMENT BLP's claim to fame is a possible quote in the Boston Globe that is referenced from his personal website "He is considered the predominant stride piano player in all of New England" Boston Globe Review Quote / Date. If this is true, there should be more to back this claim in reviews, articles, etc since 1997; that is a big title to hold with very little sources to back it up. WP has no idea if it is an actual review or a press release quote. The BLP has actually quoted this on his website as being a Wikipedia quote, not from the Boston Globe. "Yankee Jazz Beat" is a personal blog by George Borgman: ; and the 2008 quote cannot be found online. Only a 2014 mention of the BLP. All claims within the article are resume or promotional local advertising. If this BLP is WP notable, why mention where he will be appearing next in 2010? There has to be more for this to be a qualified inclusion at WP. Maineartists (talk) 01:11, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
