I don't think the sources listed in the article (top40-charts.com and digitaljournal.com) could be considered reliable, and I don't see any other way this could pass WP:MUSICBIO. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 07:04, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - His book was self-published on CreateSpace, his record was self-published by the company he founded. All sources are self-promotion sites repeating the biography from his book. This doesn't come close to meeting any of the 12 criteria for WP:MUSICBIO. Netrogeractor (talk) 08:29, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I review this, i voted to keep this because don't forget that top40-charts.com is Major Music Charts, he also made it there, i think it's necessary, he also published a book with Create Space, this guy is on all over radio talk show, and he's a well known in the Caribbean also, i did some research and i found out all the facts.--Ceenterts (talk) 17:32, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think he's a real musician, look him on Google, i don't think y'all are right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.203.92.63 (talk) 18:16, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he is a real musician. But he does not meet the Wikipedia guidelines for notability. All Google links are to websites that allow musicians to submit their own biographies. Netrogeractor (talk) 18:31, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Searches did not turn up anything to show they pass either WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:15, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
