Not yet notable per WP:MUSICBIO. His work may have been played once on the BBC, which has several stations and covers a huge volume of new artists, but I can find no evidence that it was ever placed in rotation. The one secondary source given is a brief mention of his per-tweet mentions service in the Herald. No significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources.

• Comment What about the fact he has celebrity accounts on many social media accounts? ie: facebook verified [1] and Whosay [2] could these sources be used in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yesson20 (talk • contribs) 13:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately those aren't considered WP:Reliable sources to support WP:Notability, since anyone can create a verified account on social media. That might prove that they exist, but it doesn't prove that they're notable. Has Yesson ever been interviewed in a notable magazine, or has his work ever been in the charts?

• Delete fails WP:NMUSIC. Logical Cowboy (talk) 13:25, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete fails WP:GNG. The only reference which is not a directory listing or playlist is a newspaper article that only mentions him in passing, and in a rather dismissive way that doesn't really pertain to his main line of work. ubiquity (talk) 19:35, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
