Comment He is signed so worth checking.scope_creep^Talk 15:23, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article is very promotional, for example it says he co-starred in two notable films but he is in fact a long way down the credits lists Atlantic306 (talk) 21:45, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A self-promoting artist who claims to be signed to a major label merely by using the company’s distribution services. Thus, we have this person creating their own vanity label—LarkMusic—and by becoming a client of a widely available service (EMPIRE, which represents many notable and non-notable labels and both established and aspiring artists) promotes it as being “signed to a major label.” Notability is not conferred by association; the notability here has to be evident for LarkMusic, which isn't. His acting career, as pointed out, consist of minor roles deep in cast listings or boasts of appearances that are uncredited in IMDB listings. The sourcing is junk (self-downloads, social media, small-time blogs, press-releases) and the article is written in a promotional, peacock-style. At best, he is building his career—which includes self-promotion—but has not achieved notability yet, so WP:TOOSOON. To his credit, he at least is trying to claim notability on merit rather than trying to by association for being a music mogul's nephew. ShelbyMarion (talk) 16:53, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
