• Delete. Fails WP:NMUSIC. Not notable at all. Ajf773 (talk) 11:35, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Follows WP:NMUSIC. It is notable as it meets the following criteria:

1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.
2. Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.
3. Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).
