Regarding the conflict of interest concern, I am also the submitter of Beamz (music device).  The same user who has flagged this page has nominated the Beamz music device for deletion on the grounds of non-notability.  I have addressed those concerns in the VFD page for that article, citing sources from the Phoenix Business Journal and USA Today.      
 * Regarding the concern of non-notability for this artist, he's a member of the Arizona Music Hall of Fame (reference: http://www.azmusichalloffame.org/index.html).  Additionally, I can point to the following sources.  I have not added them to this article at this time: 
 ** Jerry Riopelle on MSN Music - This page gives an overview of two records Riopelle recorded, one with Capitol Records, the other with The Orchard.  The page also includes reviews from two reviewers at the All Music Guide. 
 ** The Parade - This Wikipedia article has referenced Riopelle since 16 October 2007. 
 ** USA Today - Article covering the Beamz music device, which references Riopelle 
 ** Phoenix Business Journal - Article covering the Beamz music device, which leads with a reference to Riopelle 
 **  - Referencing Jerry Riopelle's New Year's Eve Concert, now running for 22 years straight.  Also mentions his induction into the Arizona Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame
