WP:BLP of a person with no strong notability claim and no strong sourcing to support passage of WP:GNG. His "notability" as a musician is that he's a member of a band that competed in but did not win a reality show; his "notability" as a politician is that he's an as yet unelected candidate in a forthcoming election. And of the three sources here, one is a primary source, one is a blog and one is a purely WP:ROUTINE piece of local coverage of his candidacy announcement. As always, a person is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because one piece of local media coverage verifies that they exist — to be considered notable as a musician, a person has to actually clear WP:NMUSIC for something, and to be notable as a politician they have to clear WP:NPOL, but nothing shown or sourced here does either of those things.

Comment. What about NMUSIC criterion #10, since his performance was used in a notable album? N I H I L I S T I C (talk) 16:06, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
 * That criterion refers to the person being the primary credited performer of a track on a compilation album or soundtrack, not to being a session musician on another artist's studio album. And even if Shields did meet that criterion, the criterion still wouldn't be passed just for being asserted — it would still have to be reliably sourced to media coverage about the criterion getting passed.

 * Delete - The subject does not have consistent notable sources or a significant claim for an article. Depending on his upcoming election, Michaels may have a minor case for a recreated article but that is yet to be seen.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:01, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not satisfy WP:N. Being a candidate for a minor position and other ephemeral mentions is not sufficient. Johnuniq (talk) 02:10, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - As above; no evidence that the article subject meets the criteria within WP:MUSICBIO, WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. If anything, too soon. --Jack Frost (talk) 03:06, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
