Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician, not making or reliably sourcing any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The notability claims attempted here are things like "close to the historic accomplishment of having released the most albums in Canada by a Newfoundland recording artist" (which is no part of our notability criteria per se, and not even sourced as accurate), being "spotlighted" on national telecasts whose existence I've been completely unable to actually verify, touring that isn't supported by any media coverage to actually get it over NMUSIC #4 (where the test is not stating that the tour happened, but showing that the tour got media coverage), airplay on unspecified radio stations (where NMUSIC #11 requires playlisting by a national radio network), and nominations for regional music awards that don't pass NMUSIC #8. Literally the only source in the entire article is his own self-published website about himself, which is not a notability-supporting source -- and even on a ProQuest search, nearly all I'm able to find is glancing namechecks of his existence. I was able to find one piece in The Telegram that's actually about him, but one piece isn't enough all by itself. There are also some WP:COI issues here, as the article has been edited in the past by "Kcollinsmusic". Bearcat ( talk) 16:16, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
