Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/"Shady" Jeff Philips
Youtube is of no help in establishing notability. The NYTimes article quotes Philips briefly (one sentence) in terms of using social media to promote the band (therefore not independent of the band). The LATimes article  quotes Philips briefly (one sentence) about biofuels conversions (L.A. bIO CARS seems to have a |COI here) -- a trivial mention. The gawker link has him discussing dating the "famewhoring" (their word, not mine) Tila Tequila -- not a huge step toward notability, IMO. The final NYTimes is a duplicate of the first. We can source that he exists, previously was in the band and once "casually dated" Tequila. Still nowhere near notable
