Does not appear to satisfy WP:NSINGER or WP:BASIC. Sources given in his article do not demonstrate notability, and when I did a search for some WP:SIGCOV about his career, I couldn't find anything. – DarkGlow • 11:50, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete No sources found, some about a System of a Down song with the same name and the legal tussle about it, nothing for this fellow. He is "currently" working with Fatboy Slim, who hasn't really done much since the Olympics in 2012, so the article is horribly out of date. Slim released some music recently, but it hasn't been as big as his other stuff. Oaktree b (talk) 14:34, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. The article was entirely created by two editors, "Goodlizardmedia" and "Davidmatthewriley". Good Lizard Media was a short-lived promotions company in London, and David Riley was its marketing manager [1]. So I think we can safely say that this article was created as promotion for one of its clients. As far as I can tell, BYOB has released precisely one song since his 2010 album, which failed to make any impact whatsoever. So what you see in the current article is really everything there is to know about this artist, and there is nothing in the 11+ years since to add to this... just a couple of singles and an album, all of which failed to chart or gain any media attention. His website is dead too, which usually means the artist has given up making music as a full-time career. Richard3120 (talk) 15:38, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Will never likely get updated either then, so less reason to keep it. Oaktree b (talk) 19:41, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Exactly my point... if the current state of the article was the best sourcing available at the time, there certainly won't be anything around since 2010 to improve it. Richard3120 (talk) 22:09, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I have little to add to the solidly considered "delete" votes above. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:10, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
