WP:BLP of a musician with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and very little adequate sourcing to meet WP:GNG. Of the sources here, we have two articles in alt-weeklies (which would be acceptable amid a diversity of solid sourcing, but are not widely distributed enough to carry GNG in their own right if they're the best you can do for sources), two directory entries which cannot support notability at all, and one article on a non-notable blog. I actually have heard of the guy's prior band before, so I made an especially concerted WP:BEFORE effort to find the degree of sourcing necessary to save this, on the grounds that if I as a Canadian have heard of a small independent American band before then surely more substantive media coverage must exist somewhere because how else could I possibly ever have heard of them in the first place -- but I came up completely dry no matter where I turned, and nothing here constitutes enough notability to grant him an exemption from having to be sourced better than this. Unfortunately it's a delete, albeit without prejudice against recreation in the future if better sourcing can actually be found somewhere. Bearcat (talk) 00:37, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lady Gaga. MTV. New York Times. These are not enough for you? His IMDb page is enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.132.156.68 (talk • contribs) 03:59, 2016 March 6 (UTC)
    NYT doesn't discuss James, and IMDb is not a reliable source. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:28, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. I am unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:36, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How do I report vandalism? References are being deleted for no reason. Why do gay men tear down other gay men? Shameful.
