The result was no consensus. If the people arguing to keep had given more concrete examples of how WP:MUSIC is satisfied, I would have closed this as a straight keep, but as it is, NC seems more accurate. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:12, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete Although I generally agree with the reasoning here, it feels pretty borderline to me. Given:
  • Billboard article
  • Huff Po article Granted interview, granted blog
  • The Music article
  • Also, if someone could track down reference to being on "regular rotation" on national radio, I'd be convinced.

All that being said, still seems lacking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewmutt (talk • contribs) 01:58, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• EDIT instead of Delete After reviewing, it is still unclear as to why this was included for deletion.
  • Instead, I proposed that it could be edited, since so many sources were properly included (and known ones like Billboard, Rolling Stone, Yahoo! Music). Also, see previous (user above) notations (regarding Billboard,Variety, Rolling Stone and HuffPO articles which mention or review him -- not to mention the Yahoo Music "Top 10 Best New Artist of 2016" article. [1]
  • The Radio points that were included were at AAA Non Commercial which doesn't have a public facing reporting. This information could be edited out of the wikipedia page as it is not able to be sourced in a public facing way.
  • He is from Australia (you can see that all media either starts or includes a reference to him being "Australian born/Melbourne born/raised; From Melbourne" etc.
  • Net Net, page can be edited to exclude radio highlights as they are not able to be sourced. Connected contributor. Juelconcepts (talk) 23:32, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Passes WP:MUSICBIO #1, 4, 9 & 11. The article does need to be edited for clarity, concision and neutral tone.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 04:20, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep there is just sufficient evidence provided to satisfy WP:NMUSIC.Dan arndt (talk) 14:12, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – In my view there is sufficient non-trivial coverage here, and in some fairly significant publications, to meet WP:MUSIC criterion #1. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 21:52, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
