This article was written by user Ampmusicrecords (talk · contribs), the company for which he is a producer. COI is not a reason for deletion, but it is a reason to look hard at the evidence for notability, and I don't see it. The article is referenced only to his own and the company's sites, and does not present any claim that would meet WP:MUSICBIO. Searches are complicated by other people with the same name. There is a page at All about jazz, but entries on that site appear to be user-generated. There are a lot of social-network references, but I do not find any of the substantial, independent comment about him necessary to establish Wikipedia:Notability.

  • Delete I agree, can't establish this is notable. --  00:33, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Extensive searching turned up a single independent source, which has one paragraph about his debut album here (in Norwegian). If he's the same 34-year old Swedish Anders Thorén who worked as wine director for a Pasadena restaurant at the time he was studying in that city, then we could add that fact, sourced to LA.com. So far a minor artist on a minor label, with no evidence of the accomplishments or coverage to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO. Worldbruce (talk) 06:46, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - run-of-the-mill musician, article doesn't indicate why he should be notable, searches turn up social media, nothing else, the above cited link is unavailable (paywall?) Kraxler (talk) 16:43, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This Google search should return the link at or near the top of the results. For some reason clicking through from Google avoids the paywall (in case anyone is desperate to read that one paragraph). Worldbruce (talk) 19:29, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
