The subject, a music manager and businessman, does not appear to be independently notable. The article is supported mainly by sources which contain passing mentions of the subject, but are really about either the musical acts that he manages, or the business that he founded. It's possible that the business is notable, but I can't find the independent, secondary and reliable sources which would indicate that this subject is notable per WP:GNG.

Delete agree with no independent notability. Balle010 (talk) 15:53, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Question: It's more than likely this article will be deleted, but for my learning purposes, does this one article count as a proper cited source? It will help me in creating future articles about subjects in the music industry. Thanks Wiki World! Bouncecouncil (talk) 17:37, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Bouncecouncil, just to keep this discussion focussed, I'm going to put some thoughts on that source, and that type of source, on your talk page. Give me a minute... GirthSummit _(blether) 18:20, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This article is essentially the same as Draft:Mark Gillespie (music manager), which has been repeatedly declined at AFC as not satisfying either musical notability or general notability. The submitter chose to enter this article directly into article space because it was not being approved in draft space. The subject still does not satisfy musical notability or general notability.

Comment - This is a content forum, so that the disruptive nature of the submissions is not relevant to deletion but is noted. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:24, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Gillespie (entertainment manager). I have not seen that deleted article, but it is almost certainly the same person, indicating that the sockpuppetry has been going on for two years. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:01, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a non-notable person in the music business. People need to keep in mind the key to Wikipedia is verrifiability. There are lots of people who have a lot of actual impact, but it is very hard to verrify this. Articles only follow verrifiability. What this means is that certain actions and positions only result in notability long after a person has done them and their impact cane be easily assessed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:30, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:OUTCOMES, WP:NOTINHERITED[, WP:GNG, WP:CREATIVE, and WP:MILL. We almost always delete articles about music producers, ebgineers, and managers. Even if verifiable, unless he's of the magnitude of Brian Epstein or Colonel Tom Parker, he's just not worthy of his own article. I would not oppose a redirect and "hard move protection" to Calvin Harris. Bearian (talk) 20:51, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
