Basically a resume which appears to comprehensively fail the notability criteria at WP:MUSICBIO. I've done a pretty extensive search under various forms of his name and can find no coverage that isn't self-published or trivial. Putative opera roles (not in citations given) are all in student productions. Voceditenore (talk) 16:36, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Agree with nom that looking at the resume, Mitchell would fail notability. Some regional theatre, student opera productions, a music single and Pro/Am dance competitions makes a talented person, but not notable. Bgwhite (talk) 17:10, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Clearly not notable per wikipedia general or music guidelines. There appears to be no significant independent coverage of any kind. He's obviously talented, and at some point may become notable. However, right now he doesn't meet wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and the article should be deleted. It can always be re-created later if/when more substantial coverage surfaces.4meter4 (talk) 17:15, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This young singer has not performed in any notable productions. I see nothing that remotely satisfies the WP:MUS or any other notability criteria. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:37, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete -- I didn't get any reliable sources on my Google and Yahoo search. SwisterTwister talk 05:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
