The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. The SPAs don't give convincing arguments (and one of them actually states clearly that not enough information to establish notability is available at this point). Randykitty (talk) 13:37, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not appear to have significant coverage in multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources, therefore it fails Wikipedia general notability guideline and Wikipedia notability guideline for biographies and qualifies for deletion as per Wikipedia deletion policy for failing notability.

Delete subject currently does not meet WP:NMUSIC, web search shows lack of significant coverage, only social and music sharing sites appears for the top pages. The references in the article are just iTunes links, site tags and promotional music events sites. ///EuroCarGT 23:35, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep : Notable per coverage. Emilysantoss (talk) 09:46, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep : Although the subject looks notable, this page should be redirected to another page with his real name. (talk) 10:12, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep First of all let me explain to all the admins who keeps on marking me as canvassed that I am a new comer and learning. I have my right for giving my opinion. I would like to state that as per the recent activities its quite clear that the author of the page is trying to make the necessary changes. So as per the Wikipedia guidelines the page should be kept live till the author tries to establish the notability. After the contest is over admins have the right to take necessary steps. More information required to establish notability.Hillysilly (talk) 16:26, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment : Note to deciding admin: I've rewritten Sammy Porter's Wikipedia pages contents. This is a paid edit and I have disclosed it on the talk page. Klokus (talk) 05:13, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There appears to be sock/meat puppeting going on here. The same characters, Klokus, Emilysantoss, and Hillysilly, appeared working together in AfDs for two other paid spammy articles [1] [2]. This is WP:DISRUPTive behavior.

Delete Promotional article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSIC. Logical Cowboy (talk) 12:11, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The subject looks notable and clean. Since the discussion has started, heavy edits have been made to comply with Wikipedia guidelines. I found two links showing the notability of the artist. One is from the magazine called Love That Magazine[3] and another is the press release of Music Industry News Network [4]. Hence this article should not be deleted.I would like to see Anupmehra's comment on this.

Comment : I don't work with Hilly Silly or Emilysantoss. I assume they work on the same freelancing site as me and are being hired by the same people. I'm not involving myself in this discussion by saying "keep" or "delete". All I did was leave a comment mentioning that I had edited the pages content and fixed the references from when it was first put up for deletion for my client who doesn't know much about Wikipedia or html. I like to think I'm helping people, not being disruptive. Klokus (talk) 14:24, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Definite Keep I found this person notable for DJ Database in UK [5], ESA Records[6], Auxiliary Record [7] and musicexistance [8]. I checked the notability and found it notable. Hence I would like to give my concern for a definite keep.Gracybentham (talk) 15:16, 6 August 2014 (UTC) — Gracybentham (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
