WP:BLP of a musician, not
properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing
WP:NMUSIC. The notability claim here is that he and his music exist, which is not automatically enough all by itself in the absence of
WP:GNG-worthy coverage about him in reliable sources to validate its significance -- but the referencing here is entirely to
primary sources (directory entries, content self-published by his record label) and
blogs that are not support for notability, with not one shred of GNG-worthy reliable source coverage in real media shown at all.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced considerably better than this.

- Even just basic "notable because GNG" requires more than just one "substantial" article. Especially when even that one source is a Q&A interview in which the subject is talking about himself in the first person: an interview source can be used amid a mixture of solid GNG-worthy sourcing, but it can't singlehandedly vault a person over GNG all by itself if it's the only media coverage he's got.

WP:GNG does not say "requires more than just one "substantial" article". It literally says "multiple sources are generally expected" not "multiple sources are required". Please don't turn shades of grey into non-existent black and white rules.

- One source is only sufficient if it explicitly verifies a hard notability pass on the order of "won a Juno Award". One source has never, ever been enough all by itself if you were going for "because media coverage exists" as the notability claim, especially if that one source was a Q&A interview in which the subject was talking about himself in the first person.
