- Delete. Unreferenced BLP. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:00, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: Given the amount of claims in the article, I'm surprised that there's no coverage out there for him. According to this article he's received 8 Grammy nominations, but doesn't state for what or when. It's entirely possible that this could be referring to an album he performed on but wasn't the major contributor. (In other words, he played guitar on a recording of Les Mis that was nominated.) I don't think he'd pass (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:20, 15 November 2013 (UTC)]
- Delete. I found a Cadence review for one of his works, but there really isn't much out there. I tried searching the Grammy website for his name and found nothing. A general search for his name and "Grammy" brings up primary sources that vaguely mention that he received nominations in "various categories" but never any specific information. There is a possibility of more sources being available off the internet, but the lack of any real coverage in general is fairly telling. Usually there's some brief coverage out there that would help back up notability, but all I'm finding are mentions of local performances (date and time type mentions). There's enough to suggest that some jazz aficionados might be aware of him, but nothing that would show that he's notable enough or has a big enough cult following to merit an article. I'd suggest a speedy for sheer spam, but given that there is a possible chance of offline sourcing, I'd recommend that this go for a full week in the hopes of more sourcing getting found. If anyone wants to userfy this, I have no serious problem with that. (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:30, 15 November 2013 (UTC)]
- To dissuade tagging for promotional prose, I've removed the puffery and reduced it to a discography and brief paragraph. The prior version can be seen here. Something I want to emphasize is that he doesn't seem to have performed on the official soundtracks for the various movies and musicals, but has instead put out his own renditions of the music, which is fairly normal.
