Non-notable, doesn't meet any of the criteria of WP:MUSICBIO. Only potential claim I see in the article is being in a top 200 songs list, but that list is from some unknown wordpress.com blog that I don't think constitutes a reliable source. Performing alongside notable people or at notable festivals doesn't automatically confer notability. Iago Qnsi (talk) 03:09, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Clerk note: There seems to be an appeal to not delete the page on its talk page. - Iago Qnsi (talk) 04:42, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete on this one on account of the WP:MUSICBIO problem. Couple of interviews with some smaller magazines it looks like.  The band The Breakfast Club as noted does not seem to be notable unto itself.  (Note, I found an unrelated bandBreakfast Club, but Jellybean broke it up about the time Mr. Harrison was born - ergo, unrelated, but seems worth mentioning.)  Side notes: article created by a WP:SPA.  To note on User:iagoQnsi's note above, the appeal on the talk page was created by a different SPA.  I'm getting a feeling that this is a bit promotional. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 05:21, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Simply not notable (does not meet basic notability guidelines). Music1201 (talk) 06:37, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I've updated the page with a more logical, chronological and non-promotional style, adding in several extra references. I think it just fulfils the criteria - the artist seems to have more coverage on podcasts than written media, which are difficult to source. MrMarkBGregory (talk) 21:44, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I spotted a Wordpress site and a local newspaper. You're right, podcasts are difficult.  The sources you provide, regrettably, are insufficient. My !vote stands. =( -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 05:22, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete this is promotional and self indulgent — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.64.101 (talk) 11:43, 28 March 2016‎
 * Delete at best and wait until better coverage is available. SwisterTwister   talk  03:48, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to meet either WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:59, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
