Non-notable musician/actor lacking Ghits and GNEWS of substance. Appears to fails WP:BIO. Of the references included most are just listings and others are interviews (primary reference). I do not see non-trivial coverage. Appears to be primarily a promotional piece. In addition, the text closely mirrors bio text in referenced "articles." reddogsix (talk) 10:16, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - There is sufficient links to establish notability and many of the links are reliable sources one of which include Golden Icon, etc. Though an interview may be construed as a primary source, it is the concensus that primary sources are permitted provided they are non-controversial facts. Further, the interviewers from these reliable sources believed the subject was notable enough to be interviewed.Tamsier (talk) 23:59, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as failing WP:MUSICBIO. In the awards section, there are two references, one link dead and one contains only a passing mention of the subject. There are many interviews, but these aren't independent. We need indepth independent coverage to meet WP:GNG. If such sources are added tot he article, feel free to ping my talk page.
