Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST completely. No secondary, reliable coverage of the subject at all from what I can see. Sulfurboy (talk) 22:32, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as there is a lack of coverage such as no entry at all at All Music, also his youtube subscibers amount to 62,000 which is relatively low and the video views are low as well, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:21, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The only reference is from his YouTube channel, and there isn't that much notability. Analog Horror, (Speak) 04:56, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete we cannot source him to his performances themselves which is what is being done here. We need secondary sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:44, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per Nom and others. "...62,000 which is relatively low" and "there isn't that much notability" are very conservative comments. According to the Social Blade (that I recently ran across): Social Blade Rank= 262,590th, Subscriber Rank= 250,213th, and Video Views Rank= 390,197th. This seems like an advertising push to get "youtube coverage on Wikipedia" and "Wikipedia is not a blog, web hosting service, social networking service, or memorial site".

Delete per WP:TNT. This isn't an article, it's a hot mess. Even assuming we could fix this essay/resume, there aren't enough significant coverage in secondary sources to allow for musical notability. Bearian (talk) 14:10, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I am merely piling it on here, but in addition to what everyone else has said, it is suspicious when a musician who claims to have dozens of releases gets almost no media coverage outside of his own social media self-promotions. All I found was this: [1], from a site that appears to host freelance music/movie reviewers. Mr. Cobb is a hobbyist who makes and releases his own music, and there is apparently a lot of it, but quantity does not translate into notability. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:39, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
