I reviewed the article Steve Millar and its edit history. Some observations:

The article itself includes nothing of notability. The subject attended high school, released three self-produced albums, appeared in groups of no significance beyond being local bands, and apparently is not involved in anything of note other than performing with a band that is at hire to play for events.

The edit history indicates that most of the article was written by unregistered editors (only IP addresses and redlink authors are noted) and that the appearance of established editors (myself included) was for general cleanup.

Meanwhile, the only citation links to a Mac site that has nothing I could find to confirm the subject's biography.

I could be wrong but this article strikes me as being the work of people who are close to the subject. What I am certain of, however, is that the use of language here is promotional (making more of things than is there) and that the lack of significant detail (information of interest to general readers) indicates little could be done to improve the article.

Delete. This makes no claim that would satisfy WP:NMUSIC, cites no reliable source coverage to support anything, and has a very definite advertorial tint to the writing. Quite literally the closest thing I can see to any actual basis for an article here is the hatnote indicating not to confuse him with Steve Miller the joker smoker midnight toker, and that's not a strong basis — helping an independent musician disambiguate himself from a much more famous person with a similar name is not, in and of itself, a Wikipedia inclusion criterion that would exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG. For the record, I'm also adding his one album which has a separate article to this discussion, as it makes no claim of notability (or even any real substance besides being an album by him, the end) either.

Delete Apparent vanity article, deficient in sourcing. A google search turns up no evidence of significant coverage in independent sources to merit a wikipedia entry. ShelbyMarion (talk) 22:02, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
