Delete - music by a non-notable producer. Magnolia677 (talk) 03:01, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - His work with major artists makes him a notable producer, as well as his sources. JayPe (talk) 14:12, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: there isn't a single good source in the entire article (almost all YouTube, iTunes and Livemixtapes download links), and per WP:INHERITED just because he has worked with major artists doesn't make Doughboy Beatz notable, particularly as it appears not one of his productions has actually made the charts, except as a contribution to an album track.

Keep Before attempting to salvage this subject’s entry, I combed through many producer pages to see what sources are commonly used by editors. Youtube, iTunes & LiveMixtapes are all used as sources in endless amount of articles on Wikipedia. So to say “there isn’t a single good source in the entire article” seems wrongful. iTunes is a staple in the music industry today and most of Doughboy’s catalog is on it. Also, your statement regarding him being on charts is contradictory. You acknowledged that he did make the Billboard charts but you’re trying to downplay his work in the same instance. Also, that isn’t the only chart instance sourced in the Doughboy Beatz article. Another instance listed was a Billboard magazine link, that shows actual chart position of 1 of his productions. "Brandon produced Trai'D's breakout single "Gutta Chick" that made it's way onto the Billboard Hot 100 charts which jump started his production career."this _Boyboi87 (talk) 06:00, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per (1) Richard3120, and (2) taking into account the deletion of Doughboy Beatz. Notability is not inherited. None of the sources provide the sort of independent coverage needed to pass WP:GNG, and almost all are nowhere near WP:RS. In particular, YouTube is not WP:RS unless a video was uploaded by an unimpeachable user, and there are often WP:COPYRIGHT issues. Sites like iTunes may provide evidence of facts but rarely provide evidence of notability. Narky Blert (talk) 12:32, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
