Launched the page for crossover opera vocalist and America's Got Talent finalist Branden James. A page by the same name but for the vocal and cello duo would be useful to avoid confusion. Branden James is a member of the duo but the duo's name is derived from the first name of each of the two band members. --1987atomheartbrother (talk) 18:58, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unless the duo passes the notability criteria for an ensemble, and it does not appear to remotely do that, it cannot have a stand-alone article. At most Branden James (duo) could be created as a redirect to this article. Wikipedia is not a publicity vehicle. Incidentally, if you have any affiliation whatsoever, either personal, professional, or financial, please read the guidelines and policies at WP:COI and follow them scrupulously.

I'm pointing out the duo because in my effort I noticed this nuance. I didn't do any research on the duo itself so I'm agnostic on the topic of that page. Only mentioned it for clarity. I have no affiliation whatsoever, I make an effort to contribute to Wikipedia when I can and James seemed to have an interesting and compelling narrative. He seems as notable as other AGT participants that are featured subjects on Wikipedia.1987atomheartbrother (talk)
