Zero sources in the article; I looked for more, using all of the names referenced in the article, and for the album mentioned in the article, but found no substantial coverage in independent RS for any of them. Fails WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG. GirthSummit _(blether) 11:40, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question @*Treker: - could you possibly expand on your thoughts above? The article currently contains three sources - his artist e-card (marketing material, not independent), his own YouTube channel (not independent), and his page on the Apple Music store (not independent). I looked for independent, reliable sources, but drew a total blank - if you were able to identify some coverage, it would be great if you could provide links here for evaluation. Thanks!

Delete Unfortunatelygot some coverage is WP:TRIVIALCOVERAGE, an argument to avoid :) No, unfortunately there is an absolute dearth of persistent, independent coverage in reliable sources: A few blogs, and less literature. Fails the most basic requirements of WP:ANYBIO. ——SerialNumber54129 12:58, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Other than self-promotional and fan sites, I found a single interview (and I'm not sure of the validity of that site). Schazjmd (talk) 14:41, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's a website devoted to cannabis-related culture, so no, I wouldn't say it was an RS. Richard3120 (talk) 15:45, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I didn't catch that, thanks @Richard3120: Schazjmd (talk) 22:10, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
