Highly promotional. Does not meet: WP:COMPOSER or WP:MUSICBIO. Suspect to COI editing. Resume style article with primary sourced content. Maineartists (talk) 00:41, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the one LA Times article discusses this person, rest are in non-RS. Otherwise, all I find are USC news articles, which are primary sources. Oaktree b (talk) 02:51, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, this promotional mess is sourced almost entirely to student newspapers and other unreliable sources. Even the LA Times article mentioned above does not contribute to notability, as its coverage of Carson amounts to a mere paragraph. Clear WP:GNG failure.

In fact the LA Times coverage of Carson amounts to a mere sentence. The other half of the two-sentence paragraph is about a different musical piece by someone else. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:30, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
