looking at the sources, I'm not certain  is met. A college newspaper writing an article about one of its students is nothing new, and does not necessarily guarantee notability. If this were the case, many college athletes, musicians, etc., would automatically be notable by guideline. Likewise, I feel that the North Jersey article is a good start, but ultimately I wonder whether the article exists due to  bias; that is, without being too speculative, I would surmise the source published the article because it is the small town of Montvale, NJ and it's "something neat" to write about. Local newspapers publish "interest" stories like that all the time, and that type of reporting should not automatically be assumed to convey notability. To wit,  states: ''The number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources.'' I don't automatically assume that student-run newspapers have the same editorial oversight as the Washington Post, especially when it comes to stories about their peers. :P Indeed, there's no specific number of sources needed, but to be convinced of notability, I would personally need to see deeper coverage outside of his "home" area. The sources seem to show that he might be of minor celebrity in the his college area and in his hometown, but nothing beyond that. Furthermore, the article asserts that he is "best known" for his appearances on ''America's Got Talent''. Any  need to support that claim of notability. Other sources could then possibly used to add additional biographical information, but without any sort of -based information or commentary about the appearances, the additional information is moot
