The musician seem to be WP:TOOSOON and not meeting WP:MUSICBIO strictly. Considering it as a borderline case. ☆★Mamushir (✉✉) 14:07, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning keep – Coverage in several semi-respectable British sources: Daily Express, Evening Standard, Metro, Clash Magazine, Oxford Mail, Scottish Sun, Variance, review in Atwood Magazine, comes close to demonstrating WP:GNG, although some of the coverage is on the weaker end. WP:MUSICBIO#2: His album charted (albeit in position 93). – Thjarkur (talk) 14:43, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - article desperately needs expanding but he's a notable musician. It wasn't hard to find even more sources Wonderland Magazine DIY The Upcoming Clash Magazine Spiderone 14:52, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - As the page creator I now realise it only just about satisfys WP:MUSICBIO but as I'm still a relatively new editor and am open to open discussions. I'm happy if its kept or moved to draft space, but obviously my preference is for it to be kept and expanded. And thanks to everyone spending time finding sources. --Pulisi (talk) 15:27, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Covered in plenty of reliable sources. The early version of the article possibly made it look like the musician was non-notable, but everyone above found evidence of notability pretty easily. Kudos to Spiderone for improving the article after the nomination. DOOMSDAYER520 | TALK | CONTRIBS 17:24, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Before this AfD, I had requested speedy, but thanks to the sterling work by Spiderone especially, this has done a WP:HEY, and I've done a U-turn. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:25, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in light of good work done to save it. jp×g 12:48, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
