Previously deleted by PROD in which I said:{{quote|Reliable coverage limited to a bunch of articles discussing his Big Machine signing, all of which restate each other so there's no point in adding any of it. That means the article will not be expanding beyond its current state any time soon, and as is this is a blatant WP:NOTDATABASE vio.}}Article has since been restored and there is one more source than before, but it appears to me that my point still stands. The coverage here still does not support independent notability. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 14:14, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

:That one new source being [https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/geoff-warburton-i-feel-challenged-to-get-better-and-grow-all-the-time/ this interview] with Music Business Worldwide. Doesn't seem like the hottest source for notability to me. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 11:36, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. This is based far, far too heavily on primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, while the media sourcing consists mainly of glancing namechecks of his existence in sources whose primary subject is someone or something else. What's left for sourcing about him is one Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself in the first person in a publication that would probably not meet reliable source requirements anyway, and one Billboard article that's technically fine but not all by itself enough if it's the only substantive source on offer. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have considerably better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 13:39, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Despite the admirable, last-minute efforts by a single-purpose account, we still do not have enough to categorize the text's subject as Wikipedia-notable. Which, of course, is no reflection whatsoever on their musical talent and artistic value. We have routine announcements in the field press, e.g. [https://www.bigmachinelabelgroup.com/big-machine-music-range-music-sign-geoff-warburton-in-joint-publishing-deal/ here], [https://tidal.com/browse/track/89305379 here], or [https://tidal.com/browse/track/89305377 here]; one Rolling Stone 404 [https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/hear-shawn-mendes-khalid-turn-heartbreak-into-strength-on-youth-w519805 link]; listings in All Music such as [https://www.allmusic.com/album/handwritten-mw0002821409 this]; the not-exactly-earth-shaking [https://www.billboard.com/pro/geoff-warburton-signs-contract-extension-with-sonyatv-music-publishing/ report] about a contract extension; and so on. Truly very little in terms of support. -The Gnome (talk) 20:46, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
