Promotional in tone, created by a WP:SPA whose only other contributions are blatant vandalism, deletion was disputed because "Steve is a very important example of up and coming australian artists", most of the article is about how he's going to be famous Real Soon Now. Zero cited reliable independent sources. Guy (Help!) 13:55, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I actually found him in several independent sources, which I added two at the bottom. Triple J is a national broadcaster. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, with due respect to Graeme, I don't think that Grady meets WP:MUSIC at the current time. Point #11 of that guideline says "placed on rotation", but Unearthed is not 'rotation', it's simply a page full of unsigned musicians that may not necessarily be played more than once on the radio. I don't see he meets any of the other criteria, either. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 03:36, 29 May 2010 (UTC).[reply]
• comment unearthed pages are not independent, they are submitted by the artists. most songs there have not been played on triple j. duffbeerforme (talk)
• Delete per nom. Not notable per guidelines. Created to promote. Alio The Fool 18:54, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
