WP:BLP, relying exclusively on the subject's own website (a
primary source that cannot confer
notability) for referencing, of a musician and composer with no strong claim to passing
WP:NMUSIC. Delete unless the referencing and notability claim can be appropriately beefed up.

Keep. This is another one of those cases where I'm sure I'm about to bold "kill it with fire" and am just doing the searches to verify what I already know. But I was wrong. Prunty passes the GNG with flying colors with
WP:VG/RS sources:
WP:BLPs are held to different standards than other articles. If he were an inanimate object or an organization, it would be sufficient for reliable sources to demonstrably exist whether they were actually in the article or not — but to support a BLP, at least one or two reliable sources have to actually be in the article as written or it still can't stick around.

That's true but since the references have been shown to exist, I don't think there's anything to be gained by holding it hostage to a nomination when you can just add those references yourself and be done with it. —

Primary sources don't count for anything. A BLP has to have at least one
reliable source already in it as written, or it still isn't entitled to stick around regardless of what notability claims it does or doesn't make.
