Weakly-sourced article created by its subject, of dubious notability. The Drover's Wife (talk) 04:01, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I first came upon the article in new page patrol and had cause to propose deletion as it then had no references, and tag it for various issues since including apparently being an autobiography and being about a subject of questionable notability. But it has been improving and I was wrong about the notability: the references and subsequent better research seem to me to provide more than sufficient evidence of it - in particular, I am happy that someone featured in The Sydney Morning Herald and Limelight (magazine) (both per refs) plus The Daily Telegraph (Australia) ([1]) and Music Australia ([2]) is indeed notable. The article needs further improvement but that is no reason to delete; it is the sound basis for an article about a notable person. RichardOSmith (talk)

Keep, I had no problem finding internet articles {same as RichardOSmith) describing the subject, as well as this. He has trained and performed both nationally and internationally.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:58, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - however the bare urls used in the references need to be converted to proper citations. Dan arndt (talk) 02:04, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
