This is an unverifiable biography of a living person. I can find no notable coverage of him outside of web sites affiliated with him, or social networking sites like MySpace. If he truly was nominated for a Juno Award and other awards as claimed you would expect there to be at least a mention of his name in the news. Nothing can be found on Allmusic either. He also doesn't satisfy any of the criteria at WP:MUSIC. The Hitmakers, his reality show, seems to be not actually broadcast on any network. The claim that he won a 2008 Canadian Radio Music Award is false as neither he is not mentioned as a winner (only Elise is). -- Atama頭 20:32, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As fluffy vanity. The Hitmakers is apparently a YouTube series, whereas HollyScoop seems to be a vlog site ([1]). No indication that Hurstfield has ever won any Juno or Western Canadian Music award. (In fact, the article states that Hurstfield won the award in 1999, but the award program's own website notes that the award was first presented in 2003.)

Strong delete fails WP:MUSICBIO ukexpat (talk) 21:40, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete some of the "facts" mentioned to establish some notability for this guy appear to be false. For instance he was not nominated for a Juno award, an artist he produces for was. He is not even mentioned on the Juno awards website though under her nomination. I verified that the western canadian music awards did not even exist during the year this article claims he was awarded one. What chart did that "push it up" single reach number #1 on? Who was that song even by and can it be verified that he produced on that track? His "reality TV series" is just a youtube channel. Once you remove all of the bullshit there is nothing left. 162.24.9.213 (talk) 22:43, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as soon as possible, particularly given the presence of apparently fabricated facts. hamiltonstone (talk) 00:58, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
