Que D

Contested prod. The artist in question does not meet WP:MUSIC specs and lacks non-trivial third party pubs. If none are found, please delete. JBsupreme (talk) 22:43, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep-Can be expanded. Not really even that bad of an article. ~~Meldshal42 (talk) 23:21, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If it can be demonstrated that there are reliable and non-trivial third party publications about this person, I will respectfully withdraw this nomination for deletion. JBsupreme (talk) 23:29, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:MUSIC Although the article seems to indicate he was in other notable groups not sources to verify could be found. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 15:02, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Keep Various features on notable artists, cousing to J Dilla, has an album wholly produced by him, has allmusic entry Cosprings (talk) 16:10, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That is wonderful that he is cousin to the late "J Dilla", but notability is not inherited. This is also a discussion, not a vote. Can you show any non-trivial third party publications which document this subject? JBsupreme (talk) 16:12, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and Gtstricky appears to fail WP:MUSIC and the remainder of the material is cannot be verified, failing the greater WP:V policy. coccyx bloccyx_(toccyx) 21:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why would any material be unverifiable? It just lists his appearances on albums which do have articles here. He released an album produced by a prominent producer and is featured on many notable albums: he's notable. Just because there's no Newspaper article about him doesn't mean he is notCosprings (talk) 03:59, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That is exactly what it means. The mantra on Wikipedia is "verifiability, not truth". If it can't be verified, we can't have an article about it. JBsupreme (talk) 07:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - There is nothing that cannot be verified. He has a allmusic entry with one single there. The rest of the info is apparent, just album features and contributions which appear on the back of any copy of the album.Cosprings (talk) 14:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, fails WP:MUSIC for reasons outlined -- having a link to allmusic is insufficient, just as it would be insufficient for a biographical article about an actor to rely solely upon IMDb or an adult film star to rely solely upon IAFD. RFerreira (talk) 21:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As an album by J Dilla, the article does assert its notability. Cosprings (talk) 15:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - This is articles for deletion not speedy deletion, in order for the article to be kept it has to do more than just assert notability; significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject is required.--PhilKnight (talk) 16:02, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - trivial coverage. PhilKnight (talk) 16:02, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
