I'm the creator of the page. I don't know how to do this talk thingy, it would be way easier if there was a private messaging system. Anyways, TJ Harris formed one band, then joined another, plus did multiple solo performances, and has also performed with other bands like Relentless Flood. He is independently notable. His discography is massive so far. Him and his band have been nominated for a Grammy once. I feel the page should stay up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 18:52, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Torn/Push This passes a measure used by MUSICBIO, where he has been part of two notable bands, while I cannot see much if any general notability with regards to coverage of him individually. This is a push, unless you can find some more sources, and this makes me torn with respect to this article being included in this encyclopedia.The Cross Bearer (talk) 06:35, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm new to Wikipedia, plus I don't have a good vocabulary. But, I am most definitely not exaggerating his achievements. He has been the front of two bands, plus, he plays multiple instruments. He has been signed by multiple record labels, plus has performed with another band as a featured artist. Massive discography, massive history, massive amount of band and solo performances. It's all over YouTube. Plus, he has also performed live on a radio station, Air1. I don't know what exactly I can do to ensure that this article won't be taken down. Once again, I am new to Wikipedia and everything, so technical terms aren't my strong point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 07:11, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, I am going to help you understand, the Jesus Freak Hideout interview is one source for notability, and it is in the article. We have a second source, from Singing Success, that builds upon the previous article to increase coverage. We have a third source but all I can get is the link to show they interviewed him at Christian Music Review, for their Kingdom Builder series. I would say with these three sources he passes general notability, which would allow for the creation of his article on this encyclopedia, so now we should keep the article.The Cross Bearer (talk) 09:24, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

I already knew about the Singing Success source and was gonna add it later. But it's good you know about that too. I'm trying to finish his "Decyfer Down" section first. Then, I could add his notable instruments, and that he endorses Singing Success. I've gotta type it in a uniform manner, which I'll do really soon. My apologies for the delay, I'm in the middle of my exams which are about to end this week. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 07:16, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * You have to start illustrating and proving notability before just throwing up articles, or more of your new pages, articles, and entries will be PRODed or AfDed (e.g. what this discussion going on is called). I would like you to create better articles, so this does not happen time-and-time again. I am more than excited you come to edit this encyclopedia in the Christian music project.The Cross Bearer (talk • contribs) 11:13, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

I've added information regarding his solo performance of his own single "Walk Love", at Liberty University Convocation. Don't know how to go about adding Singing Success and that Kingdom Builder interview. Thanks for the advice, and please do suggest a good way of adding those two, if you can. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 13:34, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I integrated it into the article, where now you can see how to do it for yourself in future instances.The Cross Bearer (talk &#124; contribs) 03:50, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the help pal. I made some corrections, added a bit more detail to the info as Harris and I are directly in contact, plus I have cited sources anyways to prove my edits. I hope that the article won't be deleted anymore. Please delete the notice if this article is no longer being considered as an 'article for deletion'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 07:24, 26 March 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Ummm....The Cross Bearer assured that after we integrate Singing Success and the Kingdom Builder interview in the article, TJ Harris will have passed all required criteria for having an individual article. So, why is the notice still on the page? Is there any requirement not fulfilled? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 13:34, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
