Comment: Most of the sources are trivial or |not reliable, but the Wired (magazine)|Wired and Re:Gen articles look like a pretty good start to me. The case for inclusion would be helped ''greatly'' by some better references

Comment: Not a fan, in fact never heard of this artist before the AfD, but I have to think that the only reason this is at AfD is the prior editing and promotional issues, and not notability issues. The ''Wired'' article doesn't do it for me because the only mention of Steel is in the reader comments, but there are a whole lot of other independent sources that I will presume are reliable |until shown otherwise. Any other musician with this many articles and interviews would be kept in a second, so what is it that makes this artist different? Perhaps it's the lack of mainstream sources (although ''The Tonight Show'' is arguably as mainstream as it gets), but  steampunk is not a genre that's going to get coverage on ''Entertainment Tonight'' no matter how many other people are noticing an artist (and the steampunkers I know pride themselves on being outside of the mainstream

Comment: I would say that it sort of passes #1 of , due to the coverage in those sources. The mentions are more than trivial, saying that they have been influential, and they dedicate several sentences to talking about them. That the fans have been making a campaign to have an article is irrelevant. Deleting due to influence from that campaign is almost as bad as keeping due to it (there have been several times when someone has made a campaign to ''delete'' an article). We shouldn't take those things into account, and we should look only at what the reliable sources say

Comment: fails . There's lots of (trivial) print media coverage, lots of (self-released) recordings, even a (brief) TV appearance or two, but this is clearly a guy still in the minors, trying to use wikipedia and other promotion tools to break into the majors

Comment: passes  at least by being the main subject of the article in Wired, having an interview on Suicide Girls and by appearing on the Tonight Show
