Article is grossly promotional. No evidence of encyclopedic notability. Subject fails WP:BASIC and WP:CREATIVE. References are a joke. Many do not mention the subject at all. Many are not reliable. None provide anything even remotely close to the "in depth coverage" required by the guidelines. In a sane world this would be a speedy delete.

• Delete as I'm somewhat surprised at the age of this article (I would've assumed this was a new one) and my searches found nothing better than a link each at Books (2012) and Highbeam (2013) so there's nothing to suggest better at this time. Pinging tagger Tedder. SwisterTwister talk 07:02, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - The Smashing Pumpkins connection indicates status as a video director. THIS is an interview with Vents magazine, HERE is another with Alter the Press, AND ANOTHER with Examiner.com (url missing an R) due to WP's URL blacklist), FAN Q&A from BlogTalk Radio, and so forth. Passes GNG. Carrite (talk) 15:42, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I'm noting that neither Alter The Press nor Vents magazine have Wikipedia articles. Looking at the sources that I think are the most WP:RS, The AVClub article has a one-sentence mention, absolutepunk is a press release from the band, there's no mention in the linked mtv article, the ocweekly entry is a short blurb (but appears to be the most 'in-depth' from a standard source. tedder (talk) 01:58, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Nothing in the searches gives enough to satisfy notability criteria. Fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:37, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
