WP:BLP of a musician, with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and not enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG. This is based entirely on primary sources, such as his own personal website and the website of the record label he owns, with no evidence of reliable source coverage about him shown at all -- even the one thing that looks like a reliable source, Modern Drummer, actually turns out to be a piece he wrote about himself. All of which means that none of the sources present here are independent or notability-conferring ones. This is also a followup recreation after an earlier version, identical but for the addition of the self-written Modern Drummer source, was prodded for exactly the same reasons. So, unfortunately, it's AFD this time and maybe a dose of WP:SALT. Bearcat (talk) 16:49, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: Concur with the rationale of user's Fitindia and Bearcat . I looked at the article, reviewed the sources listed, and performed a Google search. I can find a lot about the subject, that is "from" the subject, like social media sites twitter and facebook, his "official" website, or the record company he owns. Otr500 (talk)
 * Additional comments: When an article is created using only, or even mostly, self-promoted references and sites, there can be no assumption of bad faith if someone questions a possible conflict of interest. This could be a paid editor or anyone too close to the subject to be objective. The result is an advertisement article, not presented from a neutral point of view, that is contrary to one of the "Five pillars" of Wikipedia. Also, per Bearcat, I would see about pouring some salt on the subject. Otr500 (talk) 15:34, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
