Comment: While the article certainly needs improvement and more sources, news outlets reporting that they were Juno nominated does hold some notability. It seems like an article that could be salvaged with additional sources. LemonberryPie (talk) 03:46, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Article does need some improvement, but he has a Juno Award nomination under his belt — please see WP:NMUSIC #8, in which the Junos are explicitly listed as one of the canonical examples of an award that passes that criterion — and there are already sources in the article from the likes of the Toronto Star and Now and Exclaim!, which are solid and GNG-worthy sources. Yes, improvement would be helpful, but what's already here isn't inadequate at all. Bearcat (talk) 13:02, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
