Non-notable musician per WP:BAND. Article doesn't assert any sort of notability, only sources are myspace links, and most of the artists he has worked with are redlinks. Google did not turn up any reliable sources. Additionally, the artist is clearly the author of the article which is a conflict of interest and only further indicates this is a vanity/promotional piece.

Delete as NN. An extensive search returns only MySpace and self published links. Debate (talk) 06:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete Wikipedia is not myspace. This article is also in breach of WP:COI and WP:SOURCES. Ohconfucius (talk) 08:02, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
alright this is jamel himself speaking, im not using this site to promote myself, more like give myself a place to have an official bio, im a producer why would i need to promote myself, and the only reason why alot of these things are red linked is because some of these sources are either no on here are i dont know how to link them correctly, anyone who reads the information on this page clearly sees what I was trying to accomplish here, something that cant be done on myspace which is being taken seriously, I like this site I think it embodies a standard of seriousness and completetion that is unmatched by other social sites made for average people, im clearly not average so I do not see the problem here. and yes you can google me and find me on other websites, if need be I'll prove what I must in any way I can, I have great respect for this site and its community of user. -Mel —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meloddot (talk • contribs) 16:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Just to add to Wildthing's comment below, you should probably familiarize yourself with reliable sources and notability criteria for music as well. I know that you are a new user and I sympathize with you, but arguments that are not well-grounded in policy do not hold much weight with the administrators who decide the result of these debates.

- Also, don't remove content as you did here. It is considered vandalism and will certainly not help your case. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 16:52, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Please, when you make comments, do not overwrite what other user's have added as you did here. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 17:00, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete Mel/Jamal to quote you from above "...embodies a standard of seriousness and completetion that is unmatched by other social sites...", I think you have this site confused. This is NOT a social site, or a site to have an "official bio", this is an online-encyclopedia. Wikipedia's not MySpace, and if you can show INDEPENDENT sources (meaning links from other people that are not related to you in any way) that can show how you meet WP:BIO, I'd consider changing my vote.

- Comment Please understand this is not personal against you at all. We get a lot of articles that are deleted for the same reason every day. We have some standards that need to be met in order to have an article kept on Wikipedia. None of this is a reflection on you, believe me. Wildthing61476 (talk) 17:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
