Not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustian article. Fails Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines and WP:MUSICBIO. There are a lot of references on the page but none of them are significant coverage, most are simply production credits. The best are mere passing mentions. Jbh^Talk 13:39, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delete as although the listing of sources is somewhat astonishing especially considering there's not even something close to better coverage, delete for now until a better article is available (draft and userfy if needed). SwisterTwister talk 07:14, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep this person is a key figure in the Brazilian/American music industry and has made numerous and significant contributions to both. Besides the vast numbers of articles written about him in Portuguese there are a plethora of verifiable sources on the web certifying that he is real. What i would like to question is why are we suddenly ignoring the web as a source of information on people. We are selectively taking at face value what the internet claims to project as solid certifiable information and we are doing it once again with the filter of our prejudices. Has google news cornered the market on what is verifiable? We are ignoring the millions of bloggers that are legitimately contributing to the web. 177.142.210.109 (talk) 05:54, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's policy on requiring reliable sources to verify the notability of subjects of articles. In this case the subject needs to pass the general notability guidelines or the notability guidelines for bands and musicians. Blogs and other social media have never been acceptable for documenting notability on Wikipedia. (Please click through the blue links. Those terms are used in particular ways on Wikipedia and the links explain in more detail.) Jbh^Talk 19:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. The article contains sources that are mostly unreliable. The other sources like this one^WebCite from AcheiUSA Newspaper are passing mentions. My searches for sources ("Jamba Castro" and "Jammes Castro") did not return reliable sources.

  The subject fails Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
