*'''Delete'''. In order to qualify as notable, you have to be signed to a major record label, or one of the more important indie labels.

Revision as of 01:40, 13 November 2006
Does not meet notability guidelines for music or people.
- The article starts out by saying that he is a kid who makes records in his parent's basement.
- He hasn't been on national tour.
- He hasn't been picked up by any label, his albums are do-it-yourself.
- No evidence of meeting any of the notability guidelines for people or musicians.

- Delete per nomination; maybe even eligible for {{db-band}}. GregorB 14:52, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Does not assert notability per WP:MUSIC or WP:BIO. I point out in passing that another Adam Richman may be more notable than this individual, but I'm not even sure if that Adam Richman is notable enough for Wikipedia. --Charlene 17:31, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

- Keep. The article sounds like vanity, but the guy has been on national tour. I saw him in Chicago two years ago, last year he was back opening for a J-pop band, and I find concert listings across the US (one year ago he played back-to-back gigs on both coasts). According to this he had to drop out of college to go on tour. He has an MTV profile with video. Here's a profile/review from Harp, a print magazine. The AP carried a capsule review of his album. --Dhartung | Talk 00:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
