Fails the notability requirements of WP:BAND; has only been the subject of one publication by an arguably reliable source (No Depression magazine), and meets none of the other notability requirements. Inks.LWC ( talk) 03:50, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. Apart from the Significato magazine, the subject has also been covered by The Boston Globe, No Depression magazine (interview), Music Times (passing by mention), Boston (passing by mention) and several other websites which may not meet Wikipedia's reliability norms individually but together prove notability of the musician (several websites that report in music industry are widely used but do not pass Wikipedia reliability check). Disc.: I'm the creator of the page. Mr RD ( talk) 17:24, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment - The pieces from Boston.com and The Boston Globe are the same "article". The piece actually isn't even an article; it is merely an ad for a program that was put on by a church, where Jim Trick was one of a dozen or so people to perform. The subject is merely mentioned in passing, and the "article" amounts to little more than a press release. The Music Times piece merely lists him as one of dozens of artists who would play at SoulFest 2013. The Significato "magazine" piece appears to be nothing more than a CD review from a blog run by a husband and wife. Thus, he has only been the subject of one non-trivial published work that appeared in a reliable source (No Depression magazine), and the subject fails the other criteria of WP:BAND (and additionally WP:GNG). It is also worth noting that in addition to being the creator of the page, Mr RD has disclosed that he was monetarily compensated to create the page. Inks.LWC ( talk) 22:21, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

- Delete rather promotional (subject is described as a "motivational speaker", trying to drum up an audience?, and paying for it [see above]?), fails all criteria of WP:MUSICBIO, no significant coverage in independent RS, refs are primary, blogs, trivial mentions or almost empty discographies...
