This was deleted 2 years ago for failing WP:BIO, but recreated a while back by User:Earflaps, who argued on talk page that this coverage by Forbes makes him notable. Well, this coverage amounts to one paragraph - a glorified caption to a photo. I don't think i changes anything, namely this article was created as part of the CEO-vanity bio promos for people related to Life in Color; they have all been deleted by now. Let's keep a lid on such spam, please. PS. Pinging the sole other contributor to the last AfD, User:Kudpung. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 14:13, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Another case where I started working on pages assuming there would be awesome coverage, and there wasn't. Solano was the sole exception of the Life in Color people, mainly because he was the focus on some of the features. I still think tht counts, though. More recently, I'd argue he's notable because of that major promotion to SFX Entertainment. For folks not in the know, SFX (while undergoing bankrupcy) is still the largest EDM festival company in the world (LiveNation is all genres). And yay! billboard coverage of it! He was also named 30 under 30 in music, a big list by Forbes. To me, these big articles combined with all the other more minor (or less reputable) coverage makes a very strong argument for notability. Also, it's a bit insulting to call other editors' work "vanity pieces," just because the coverge wasn't great. If a page isn't notable, that's it, no need to smear its neutrality.

 * My apologies, it is just that too many similar articles are created by paid PR SPAs. I didn't realize you were the original author, I thought you just restored and slightly updated an article created by someone else. I missed the billboard article, but it is an interview, and I still cannot decide to what degree they count as in-depth coverage of the subject. Let's see what others aay. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 14:26, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * That's alright. As a side note, if the consensus does veer towards delete, as creator I would like to request it instead be redirected to Committee Entertainment, where the bulk of the info is still relevant, and so the research is still accessible. Some of the other SFX references I could also reuse on the SFX page, a topic which could use a head start on cleanup anyways. Earflaps (talk) 21:10, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: cannot escape the feeling that this belongs on LinkedIn, not on Wikipedia. A surprising number of article creators seem to confuse the two. Quis separabit?  20:04, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete by all means, nothing at all to suggest the actual necessary solid independent notability, quite detailed information but still nothing actually convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  04:14, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
