Completely unsourced, flagged since 2010. Many complaints on talk page that this is an advert, and that attempts to include subjects real name and ethnicity have been deleted. There is a problem with non-Native musicians and writers trying to use Wikipedia to establish an Indigenous identity for themselves, and I think this is one of those cases. The article could stand on the basis of his music only, without the false claims on Native status, IF his musical contributions are judged notable. However, I am not sure they are. - Slàn, Kathryn NicDhàna 19:56, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - When searching for relevant sources, make sure they are about the same person as this BLP, as there are a number of people using this name. Also, many of the results that come up in a google test are concert listings or other ad copy that was submitted by the subject and never fact-checked. Diff where I removed some of the unsourced claims: [1]. Diff where a SPA removed non-advert info and added even more promotion: [2] - Slàn, Kathryn NicDhàna 20:14, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
