Semi-advertorial WP:BLP of a music journalist and marketing professional, whose claims of notability are not reliably sourced. Half of the footnotes here are to his and his publication's own self-published content about themselves, not reliable source coverage about them in media -- and of the remainder, one is a WordPress blog, three are glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things or people, and one is a mere blurb. None of these sources are good enough, but nothing stated in the article confers an automatic notability freebie that would exempt him from having to have better sourcing than this -- and comparing the creator's username to the name of the subject's wife, our conflict of interest rules come into play as well. This is simply not properly sourced to deem him notable, and Wikipedia is not a venue for self-promotion. Bearcat (talk) 21:19, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:PROMO for non notable self-promoting music journalist. Searches not finding WP:SIGCOV despite fairly unique name. Plus, notable journalists routinely have more than 700 twitter followers (yeah, I know that metric isn't policy. But if I'm looking at an AfD and a journalist has 50,000, I followers, I look harder.)E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:35, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, could not find independent indepth coverage. A brief mention in the liner notes of an album is not that. --GRuban (talk) 15:44, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
