Fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:BASIC. The references in the article either don't pass WP:RS or are about the subject's father. I don't think the YFM Hot 9 countdown or the Hype magazine profile are enough to pass WP:MUSICBIO on their own. The TV appearance doesn't automatically confer notability either. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 10:33, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MUSICBIO guidelines have been met, but are always more difficult when sourcing notable indie artists. References to the subject and the subject's father meet WP:RS as well. TV appearances certainly do not automatically confer notability, however, in terms of music entertainment "notability" means something completely different to people 12-34 than it does to older demographics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nostrand12 (talk • contribs) 09:22, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Nostrand, and thanks for commenting. Could you clarify which references to the subject exactly you think pass WP:RS? I think that is the point that is going to have the most relevance for the discussion here. Also, if you think that any criteria of WP:MUSICBIO have been met other than number one, it would be helpful if you could say which ones these were. And feel free to ask me if you have any questions about any of this. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 11:20, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
