An article about the same person, without the (unnecessary) disambiguator, was deleted following an AfD all the way back in 2005, but, as far as I can tell, was recreated several times over the following years before finally being protected... but that didn't stop this article from being recreated again under this name in 2017. Even without such a history, I don't feel the subject is notable at all, as Google failed to bring up any reliable non-primary sources other than the six already cited in the article, plus it seems the subject is only known for narcissistic behaviour in Internet forums back in the 2000s.

Delete and salt Nothing more than WP:PROMO. Can't access the Richmond newspaper source but get the feeling it is nothing more than a page filler. Mattg82 (talk) 21:15, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt Ughhhhhh the sources were painful to read. Vanity to the max. Regardless, please make it stop and salt it. I'll help if you wish. Missvain (talk) 22:15, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not meant to be a platform for promotion.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:11, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Clearly an attempted promotion and his notability is not any higher now than it was in 2005. He actually has several albums but they are probably self-released and were roundly ignored by the media and public. Of the sources currently in the article, some are dead, some are very brief media introductions, and the rest are basic listings of his existence, and that is not nearly enough for a WP article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:54, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - possibly written by a fan, there are some sources, but this artist has no evidence of performing outside Virginia. Please ping if you can find anything that would make him pass WP:MUSICBIO. Bearian (talk) 20:26, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
