As I mentioned with my "delete" vote previously, when I checked the sources, one of them spells "article" as "artical." The other spells "arrogant" as "aragonant." That kind of sloppy amateurism will sink the reliability of a sources as easily as any other criteria. So by all means add the print sources, but if they suffer the same kind of cheapness, they too will be discounted.

common theme in the notability guidelines is that there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability. (IS IT BECAUSE MOST OF THE ARTICLES ABOUT HIM ARE IN PRINT AND NOT ONLINE CAUSE FOR SUCH REACTIONS? I'M SURE YOU COULD TAKE ANY INDIE ARTIST OFF, BUT WHY SO MUCH EFFORT ON THIS? I ACCUSE THE ACCUSERS OF BEING BIAS OR TROLLS.)
248:. Entirely sourced to an interview the artist gave to a teen webzine hosted on Wordpress, and there's no indication at all that the artist has ever done anything notable. I can't find any other sources at all about the artist or his albums. The photo used in the article is the same as the one in the webzine interview, but the SPA editor who created this article claims it as their "own work".
693:, and I am unable to find a single professional review for either of his albums. All he has are streaming links and a few YouTube videos that he probably uploaded himself. The "keep" voters above (or voter, because they may be the same person) are clearly unaware of Knowledge's notability requirements, and this is not a

883:, per above arguments. There is simply no SIGCOV that would support a notability claim, per either the GNG or WP:MUSIC. Furthermore, I think ShelbyMarion's comments above are quite adequate when it comes to gauging the quality of the sources presented so far, which are extremely poor.
561:
I'm not sure how famous you have to be, but his music is in my top 100, so to think he is not notable is crazy to me. I think it's because his name is hard to Google. I figured the page would get added on to later by other people.
725:- Blatant promotional and obvious either CANVASING or SOCKPUPPETRY. I also found it funny in checking the reliability of the source, the webzine Teenzine, in the "about us" link, spells the word "article" as "artical."
52:. Consensus is clearly that no suitable sources exist that would meet our BLP policy, and that notability cannot be demonstrated according to either GNG or MUSICBIO due to the same lack of suitable sources.
209:
805:, that would be acceptable... you would just have to provide full details of the citation, such as author, date/issue number and page number, so that other editors can check those sources and verify them.
