De-prodded, but I don't think he passes WP:MUSIC. Scanning the few Google hits [1][2][3] I see nothing nothing non-trivial, reliable, and independent of him and his affiliations. http://www.christiantoday.com looks independent and reliable but this is all we'd have to work with from that source. Also fails the 2-albums-on-a-major-label test. I'd say delete unless it can be shown he's the subject of multiple non-trivial sources. Pan Dan 17:30, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Here are more sources. Let me know if you want me to stub them. I guess he's not got a record out yet? Some of the info is incorrect so I updated.

    • Thanks for providing those sources. But the kind of sources we'd need to write a good encyclopedia article about him are in-depth profiles from reliable sources independent of him. Please see WP:RS and WP:N. We can't use announcements of events he was/will be involved in, or blogs. Pan Dan 23:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - sources prove he exists, but don't prove notability. His musical career on its own doesn't appear to be sufficient. Overall, suggest we wait until he becomes a bishop... Addhoc 16:26, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no sources besides directory entries, fails WP:MUSIC per the article. - Bobet 13:59, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
