Have to vote keep with cleanup on this one, google search does seem to turn up secondary sources including the Montreal Mirror. Definitely needs work though. Seraphimblade 07:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Delete Needs multiple independent sources. The only source is his record label. If there are verifiable and reliable independent sources, they belong in the article. Edison 19:39, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Based on how the article is written, I an't even tell if it's notable or not. Needs a COMPLETE cleanup before we decide. --Wizardman 16:33, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Weak delete. Despite this source, my feeling is that he isn't notable enough to be included. He might be experienced and talented, but I still have the impression that he is more or less a 'local' phenomenon. If sources can be found to prove that he has gained nationwide coverage more than just a few times, I'd reconsider. The Montreal Mirror has approx 285.000 readers (their own estimate), but for a nation with a population of more than 30 million this is rather low in my eyes. Also, I've found nothing to indicate that this paper has a particular position within the music culture in Toronto, so I'd say delete for being non-notable.

Edit: On checking the user who started the article, I discovered this[1] (see bottom of the page). This is possibly a copyvio, and the image is untagged as well. I will tag the article appropriately. Bjelleklang - talk 00:46, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
