Comment: Not quite enough independent, significant coverage to show why this is notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Need more than interviews. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:30, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I've run through the sourcing and the main issue here is that the coverage is very heavily about Light of Day. That seems to be the main thing that D'Urso is known for, honestly. I agree with the other user, this should be an article about Light of Day that maybe has a one paragraph section about D'Urso.

- Comment: I'm concerned about the sourcing. Here's a rundown: #Rolling Stone: D'Urso is only briefly mentioned here. The in-depth content is more about Light of Day. Usable#WHY Hunger: This is a primary source, so it can't establish notability. Primary#Getty Image: This could be used to establish that the two played together, but the Rolling Stones article already establishes that. Even if it didn't, this would be a minor source at best. Also, performing at an event with Springsteen doesn't automatically give notability, not exactly - we need more in-depth sourcing and reviews of the performance for that. Trivial source#Chorus & Verse: This is an interview, which is seen as a WP:PRIMARY source by some. It's not really the strongest thing to base notability on because they don't undergo the same fact-checking as a prose article would receive. Others believe it should count as a primary source, so it shouldn't be used to establish notability. I don't entirely agree with this, but it's enough of a commonly held belief that I try to only use interviews to back up basic information. Site looks like it's most likely a reliable source. Iffy#Why Hunger: another primary source. Primary#Lohud: This is another interview. Site looks to be usable, but again- interviews aren't great sources on which to base notability. Iffy#Whig-Standard: This is good. It's enough about D'Urso, isn't an interview, and is in a RS. Usable#Variety: This is a RS, but D'Urso is mentioned only once. Coverage is more about Springsteen and LoD. Usable but not in-depth about D'Urso. #Primary source. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:38, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Suggest an article about Light of Day instead. The Rolling Stone article provides in-depth coverage about the concert series and found this NYT article. S0091 (talk) 14:09, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
Joe D’Urso (born 1964) is a New Jersey based singer songwriter known for his work with the Light of Day Foundation[1] and WHY Hunger[2] (formerly World Hunger Year). Both charitable organizations use music as a method of raising money for research and support.
