Problems with existing references: 1.) This is a YouTube channel 2.) This is an Instagram page. It appears to show something like a newspaper article about the song "Slow", but I can't figure out what the newspaper is supposed to be nor anything else about the article's publication except the date (November 2014). Without knowing what the newspaper's name is, we can't know what its distribution is like, and so we can't assess its value to for establishing a notability claim 3.) This does not link to an article— it appears to be a Dutch music listing of some kind 4.) This ref comes from Cd Baby, which is not an independent source 5.) A verified Facebook page is not evidence of notability


 * New Resource is added "Mr Ray Bas Guitar For Slow "; — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamluigino (talk • contribs) 08:30, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

A Google search on people likely to be him turns up listings at Soundcloud, the CD Baby music store, Skempi, and his Twitter account, but no substantive coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources. KDS4444 (talk) 05:40, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence meets WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG other than the aforementioned Instagram of a 4-paragraph article in a local newspaper. All other sources are social media, database listings, passing mentions, etc. The "new resource" referred to by the article creator above is to a blog by a bassist who played on one of the artice subject's singles.
