Fails the GNG and MUSIC criteria quite clearly. Could not find a single source beyond his own websites or social media channels. This is reflected by the citations used in the article, which are all unreliable/insignificant. PK650 (talk) 23:34, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: while he's clearly a prolific musician, none of the references demonstrate notability, and I couldn't find any other sources which would. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 13:12, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep First of all I apologize: this will be a little long. Several considerations. You are right, Scott Jeffers Traveler is a prolific musician, he composed 14+ albums; he is worthy of attention and notice as a musician/composer/performer, especially since he is working in very different genres. He is also artist of movies listed on IMDb. His music is a fusion of ethnic music and Rock, which is not mainstream in the US. His albums are in the catalog of Periferic Records, which is ranked in the five best progressive rock label in Europe (Piacképes zene a periférián), it is notable to be listed in the catalog of Periferic Records.
- He is a returning star of festivals specializing in very different genres; and being invited back to the following festivals is notable.
  - the Las Noches de las Luminarias, which is an annual Nov/Dec holiday festival with an average of fifty thousand visitors yearly (Desert Botanical Garden 2018 Annual Report). On the timeline of the festival's 40 year anniversary publication, the year of 2010 is a milestone as the first year Traveler (the band of Scott Jeffers Traveler) played there: and he is invited back ever since, which is notable.
  - 2013-2016, he was invited to return yearly to the Fethiye International World Music Festival, Turkey to play with musicians from all over the world
  - The Scottish Games / Highland Games in Phoenix has 20000 visitors yearly (eventcrazy.com); it is notable that Scott Jeffers Traveler has been invited there five times since 2015
- Regarding the references I used: all of sources are used / accepted in wikipedia articles
  - all references are third party, independent publications about music: I did not use Scott Jeffers Traveler's own sources (web site, social media) as reference - I did not include information without being able to locate to source.
  - Voyage Phoenix is a popular magazine, which has Q&A interviews and other music-related publications, used as reference in wikipedia: e.g.Craig Bohmler, Fervor Records; thus, it should be accepted its Scott Jeffers Traveler interview as well.
  - Lady Obscure Magazine is a women founded / run independent online music magazine which e.g. interviewed Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull as well in a similar format to the Scott Jeffers Traveler Q&A. Ladyobscure magazin is an accepted reference source on wiki: e.g. Antonia Vai, Signum Regis.
  - Turkey's For Life is an independent website based in Fethiye with local & travel news. The entry I included describes the sheer excitement when the International World Music Festival's headliner Scott Jeffers Traveler walked into the bar with his band.... and soon was on stage in an impromptu session. He was notable not because he was listed as a performer; but because he was invited back to the annual festival: as a returning star-performer. It is a witness' testimony, who happens to be a skilled writer. Turkey's for Life has been accepted as reference on wikipedia, e.g. Dolmuş.
  - Fethiye Times is an English language online news site in Fethiye, Turkey. In the reference I added the ... The Scott Jeffers Traveler along with his band Traveler has also been featured in Fethiye Times during the years, when the Fethiye World Music Festival took place. Fethiye Times is an accepted reference source on wikipedia, e.g.Camel Wrestling, Vivalda Dula.
  - Blabbermouth.net is a wikipedia article: "Blabbermouth.net is described by the London Free Press as a "reliable industry and fan site"," "it is dedicated to heavy metal and hard rock news". In the reference I used Scott Jeffers Traveler is interviewed by David Ellefson. Blabbermouth.net interviews and reviews are accepted source reference on wikipedia.
- Based on the above Scott Jeffers Traveler should be considered notable. Wiki supports diversity and this artist is an underground artist. I accept that the article needs improvement, this is why it is labeled START. Would you consider adding Find sources notice notice and let the Scott Jeffers Traveler wiki article stay and being improved? He is a remarkable artist who deserves to be in the encyclopedia. And I for sure would like to be around and contribute to wiki as my life permits. Thank you for your input and for reading this all the way till this point.
