Fails WP:BIO and WP:ARTIST. Sources are either dead, don't mention him, or are self-published, with the exception of this one article. One write-up in a local paper does not establish notability. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:57, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The close relationship between all the articles created by the same author suggests an attempt at publicity. The only thing saving this article from an A7 speedy deletion is the assertion of receiving positive reviews despite being independent; unfortunately the sources cited are user-generated or local. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:50, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete. Although at least one source appears independent and non-self promotional, the subject seems to be more aspiring to notability rather than one who has any kind of noteworthy achievement. So far, at least. 216.40.85.194 (talk) 14:31, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:GNG and is promotional and lacks coverage of WP:RS except for one article.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 09:06, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
