Tagged for notability since November. Last AFD turned up an interview and one trivial source; interviews generally aren't enough to carry an article. No attempts to improve since last AFD. Yes, he has a wide repertoire, but there is almost no significant coverage of him anywhere. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 20:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

  • One of them is an interview, which is generally not considered sufficient per WP:MUSIC ("except for the following: Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves…"). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 20:40, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
  • The website indicates a past feature in the magazine. We don't know if it's only an interview, or also something else. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord 20:42, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
I have no idea how that guideline came to that wording, but it's impossible for articles to be written about bands or musicians without conducting interviews. A feature is usually a interview molded into a different format anyway. The musician talked about themself, but because of how the piece is written, you never know. What really matters is whether the interview was an editorial decision on the magazine's part or whether the group/musician asked them to for promotional purposes. - Mgm| 10:36, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
This is an excellent point, and should probably be brought up on Misplaced Pages talk:MUSIC. — Gwalla | Talk 20:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

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