Draft:Federico De Caroli

• Comment: The sources cited are primary, and therefore not sufficient to establish notability per WP:GNG. As for WP:MUSICBIO notability, I cannot see anything there that would clearly establish that; eg. the records are all apparently non-notable, as are the record labels. If music-specific notability is being asserted, please specify on what grounds, and what evidence there is to support that.
  Also, the draft is written in quite a promotional tone; please dial down the adulation and write in a more neutral and formal manner.
