• keep I going to vote keep for this one. The subject is notable and I don't think that a lack of sources is enough of a reason to delet an article, it just needs to be improved.--Druddigon (talk) 17:23, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Actually, it doesn't address the issue of notability at all. So the lack of sources is critical, and so is notability. Macdonald-ross (talk) 15:20, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And I still see nothing in the article which supports notability as a musician. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:19, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Note I added a external link to the article. --74.130.133.1 (talk) 17:48, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But that link was dead, so I removed it. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:10, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I improved the statement about his role in Drake & Josh and added a reference. Besides that, needing more sources (if it still needs more) isn't a reason to delete. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:10, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Auntof6. --74.130.133.1 (talk) 18:45, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. In addition to other dubious sources, the single statement showing notability is cited by a gossip columnist. Not a reliable source per w:WP:QS. User:Rus793 (talk) 15:57, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep, marginally notable. I looked again and found a few reliable sources and added text. User:Rus793 (talk) 19:10, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep Appears potentially notable, the article being poor quality does not mean it should be deleted. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 17:06, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
