Musician who may not meet notability criteria. GNews doesn't offer anything more than performance announcements, interviews, and blogs that I can find. Article was entirely unsourced and promo. Seems to fail WP:MUSICBIO, unless I'm missing something? Waggie (talk) 16:59, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete I'm entirely puzzled how this lasted this long. Useless sourcing, the history is no better, and a quick Google search confirms it. This is borderline CSD worthy, had it not been so old. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 20:55, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
• Comment He appears to technically meet WP:MUSICBIO #6, as he was in Solas (group) and Usher's Island (band). However the notability of Solas isn't clearly established, and WP:BLP still requires some sourcing in reliable, independent sources. Maybe redirect to Usher's Island (band) as the most notable band he has been a member of? --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:12, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
