Doesn't appear to be a notable musician. Sourcing is from the defunct website for his independent record label, the website globaltopia.org he created, his wife's blogger.com account profile, and a few sources trivial on the subject. The account Jeffersonpepper, which may be the subject, had significant additions and activity on the article through 2010. Saucysalsa30 (talk) 05:48, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I only get hits on Jefferson Airplane and Sgt. Pepper. Oaktree b (talk) 14:50, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - He knows how to get his releases into online directories and how to assemble moderately-known studio sidemen onto his songs, but he has been largely unnoticed by the reliable music media. The article's quotes from publications like Cashbox and the Belfast Telegraph cannot be found online and are possibly fake. The article is dependent on his own business and blogging sites, and some of those are now dead. His act of copying his own promo materials and personal biography was apparently unnoticed at the time, but it was during WP's dark ages. Better late than never. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:28, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I found his albums on Apple Music, but many of the citations included here no longer existed (I removed some in a recent edit), and I believe it fails notability under WP:MUSIC.--Born of Iron (talk) 15:33, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not that it may matter at this point for this case, but those citations may still exist. The pennyblackmusic.co.uk link you removed can be found on Wayback Machine. Saucysalsa30 (talk) 04:48, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: also didn't find much except for seemingly self published sources, Of the checked sources from American Fallout all were extinct, or dead links Paradise Chronicle (talk) 01:23, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
