Jazz guitarist Carl Filipiak is mentioned in some lists but does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (music). No charting song or album, no non-trivial coverage dedicated to him in national publications, no major award, etc. Binksternet (talk) 05:02, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. A quick check gives at least... Billboard (January 13, 1996; see [1]); The Washington Post (January 22, 1993) p. 9. "Poppy Jazz, Reggae From Local Artists"; JazzTimes (various; see list at [2]); Baltimore Sun (September 19, 1991; see [3]); (March 13, 2008; "Putting His Spin on Music"; see [4]). Not exactly Pat Metheny, but something to build a case for Criterion 1. EddieHugh (talk) 08:42, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Plenty of coverage that could have been easily found before nominating, e.g. 5 Allmusic reviews, Jazz Times, Billboard, The Washington Post, WPost again, and again, yet again, Baltimore Sun. Most of these are on the first page of Google News archive results. --Michig (talk) 12:05, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The coverage found by the two above editors looks to be enough to meet WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO #1. Gong show 19:08, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Currently has album "Live at the Cat's Eye" on the first page of best sellers for jazz fusion on Amazon. Amazon: Jazz Fusion — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.21.56 (talk) 22:39, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
