Only sources are a passing mention in an article about a product and a feature in a local newspaper. Appears to be an autobiography. Doesn't seem notable.

Not AutoBio. I'm biographer, same handle as page. Should not be marked for deletion. Notable/ references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattsandyny (talk • contribs) 17:17, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Certainly Not Notable as a "rockstar" based on one album uploaded to iTunes. As for notability as an "inventor", I would say that coverage cited indicates the need for a 24-hour news cycle to have something to talk about. WP:NRV:"No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists: The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity..." The fact that some limited coverage of him talking about his inventions exists doesn't make him or the inventions notable. That would require more extensive coverage in secondary sources describing their significance, not just their existence. nerdgoonrant (talk) 16:26, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
