Tomasreinarsson shares the same name as the subject. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 01:00, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
Hey there, and thanks for reviewing the article. It did indeed start out autobiographical but I believe I have fixed that.
The subject is notable nationally in Iceland which (being a small country) may not directly translate to notability on this wiki. However, I think I am not mistaken in saying that he is the most widely known jazz artist inside of Iceland and has a career spanning decades. Other Icelandic jazz artists are slightly more niche or only known for their band, Tómas is known individually since he has been the face of most of his bands.
