Does not meet WP:BIO or WP:MUSICBIO. Sources are unreliable and while they generally disagree, none indicate meeting WP:MUSICBIO criteria. Previously PRODed. Tgeairn (talk) 17:16, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

:Keep Meets WP:MUSICBIO as per "2: Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.". Can someone actually familiar with the musician please give the article a good going over - when I saw it, it was full of absolute crap which I've tried to tidy up, but not being familiar with his music or career I don't know if it's accurate enough.

:Keep has sufficient notability to warrant a keep. NealeFamily (talk) 05:56, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Keep Subject has "been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself", so meets WP:MUSICBIO#1. In addition to the sources already contained in the article, there are many sources available online. Examples of this are an [http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15716-forever-dolphin-love/ album review] from Pitchfork Media and [http://drownedinsound.com/releases/15407/reviews/4139980 another] from Drowned in Sound. — sparklism ^hey! 10:56, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
Keep. A bit more of the available sources below. Sourcing is even more convincing when you see that it's from multiple countries. duffbeerforme (talk) 13:12, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
