Please note that you cannot stack a musician's notability primarily onto Q&A interviews in which he's speaking about himself. Those kind of sources are permissible for supplementary verification of stray facts that still need sources after a musician has already gotten over WP:GNG on journalism written in the third person by people other than himself, but do not count as data points toward whether he gets over GNG in the first place. Three of the four footnotes here are interviews, however, which is not the correct balance: the third-person journalism needs to represent the majority of the footnoting with the Q&A interviews limited to a minority, not vice versa.

The interviews are used to cite facts about his life, they are not used to establish notability. Hence the tag that "This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification." is missing the point, all the facts in the text are verified. As far as I see it, the musician clearly meets the GNG. Anyway, I'm not interested in further discussing this issue. Best, --NiTen (talk) 16:20, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A musician does not meet GNG on Q&A interviews alone, and a musician does not meet GNG just because you throw one piece of third party journalism into the mix — GNG requires multiple notability-supporting sources, not just one, so if the sourcing is still 75 per cent Q&A interviews with just one piece of notability-supporting journalism, then he has not been properly established as notable yet. The third-person journalism has to outnumber the Q&A interviews, not vice versa, before you can claim that you've sourced him over GNG. Bearcat (talk) 16:26, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
