Contested Prod restored after request at WP:REFUND. On the face, the subject reads as a Session musician for several artists/performers of notability. Considering the Specific Notability Guideline WP:MUSICBIO, I'm not seeing a substantiated claim of notability. Falling back to WP:GNG there's a bunch of interesting prose, but the sources do not back up the claims. We have 4 categories of references: Sites that are dead, Sites that do not mention the subject, Sites that list the subject (but in a very generic database maner), and interviews/ghostwrites of the subject.

In short, I'm not convinced that the subject's notability has been proven to merit a article here. Hasteur (talk) 13:50, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with the others in this discussion. On the basis of notability WP:N the article should be deleted. The sources are lacking, and the only contributor is the subject. I feel that this page is being used as a tool for self promotion. Pantherjag (talk) 23:46, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete I'm not seeing the notability. The article is enormous and very detailed, but the sources are too weak for a keep. --MelanieN (talk) 21:37, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
