Autobiography with no indication of notability per WP:MUSICBIO, and no substantial coverage online from WP:RS, just passing mentions on niche blogs and self-published lists of his recordings on Discogs, CDbaby, etc. Dai Pritchard (talk) 12:03, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

* Wikipedia:WikiProject Jazz notified. AllyD (talk) 12:53, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The article stresses that the subject is listed on AllAboutJazz; however, one usually has to be careful in using that site whether as a reference or in an AfD discussion, as it includes both bylined reviews and user submitted content. There is a past discussion on this in the Wikiproject Jazz archive. AllyD (talk) 12:59, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The most substantial reference in this WP:SPA article submitted by User:Greg's wiki is probably the brief review of his new album on "Smooth Jazz Daily", but it falls short as a reliable source as a non-bylined review on a blog which itself has no evidence of notability. Multiple searches (Highbeam, Questia, Google, Allaboutjazz, Allmusic) are not turning up evidence of notability. AllyD (talk) 13:10, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per AllyD. Looks like an extensive discography, but they all appear to be self-released (either via eponymous label, or CD Baby). I wouldn't rule out an artist's article based on self-released albums (see also: Sun Ra), if the recordings had been reviewed in a notable medium and/or by a notable reviewer. But as AllyD pointed out, that doesn't seem to be the case. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:33, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
