Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Following the recent AfD of Bryyn's former band Ophur, I've been checking out his own article, and he doesn't seem notable either. Almost all his music throughout his career has been made freely available, all independently or on non-notable record labels – the four bluelinked albums in his discography section all link to completely unrelated topics, so he has no notable albums. The references are almost entirely from the various record labels he has recorded for, apart from one obituary for his former bandmate in a local newspaper and a review from a non-notable website, a blog for a free music download app. The article was written by a near-SPA editor... the only other edits this editor has made are about neuroscience, and given that Bryyn (aka Bryn Martin) works full-time as a neuroscientist, this strongly suggests an autobiography... this would explain how the article creator knows Bryyn's birth date, who his influences are, and that he used to borrow CDs from public libraries as a child. Even with the unusual name and the fact he has been recording during the internet era, I cannot find any reliable sources about this artist. Richard3120 (talk) 14:24, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - The nominator did some nice detective work here. Bryyn has self-released a lot of music on the usual self-upload sources, and has promoted himself in the usual social media services, but nobody else has noticed his work. The article's reliance on red links and mis-directed blue links (some of which I have removed) indicates an attempt to puff up the article with connections to other people/things that are also non-notable. He's a longtime collaborator and studio hand who apparently loves to make music outside of his day job, and that's cool but to get an article here he needs notice from reliable media. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:21, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The two previous comments cover it all pretty well. None of these sources are RS. A check of his website indicates he is pretty small-time, which explains the lack of RS coverage. Most likely a promotional article by the subject himself. ShelbyMarion (talk) 09:24, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
