There was an AfD two years ago, which, after examining it minutely, I am still at a loss to understand how it was closed "Keep". Best I can tell, it was on the strength of a couple non-policy related comments by anon IPs. Anyway, two years on, this BLP is still completely unsourced. It should've been PRODed and deleted two years ago. But since there was a prior AfD, here we are. Volunteer Marek 01:29, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete No reliable 3rd party coverage, only referance is artists biography on own site Seasider91 (talk) 12:44, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Four citations have been added since the nomination (Thanks Arxiloxos), so the article meets the GNG. In addition, he meets WP:Musicians criteria 5 and 6 (2 albums and member of Outworld for 12 years). He also has a significant number of guitar endorsements, including Dean Guitars, Ibanez Guitars, and Jackson Guitars, which show his influence as a guitarist and instructor.
