BugJuice[edit]

Non-notable rapper, fails WP:MUSIC. No sign of any reliable sources, and Googling the name off his various (admittedly self-promoted) albums provide few hits, other than to his Myspace page and a handful of blogposts. Created by a SPA with no other edits. Fails WP:V, WP:BIO. Ravenswing 13:08, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails WP:MUSIC criteria for artists. No reliable sources that subject is notable. Also, I would like to add, a very similar article can be found at Bugjuice which is recreated delete material. Orfen ^T • _C 21:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Actually, Bugjuice is not recreated deleted material. The article previously deleted under that title was about a film. — Gwalla | Talk 21:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, both articles fail to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 21:44, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unreferenced, promotional POV, specious claims to notability. Basically claims outright that it doesn't meet WP:BAND (all albums self-produced). — Gwalla | Talk 21:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment and Delete Could someone more technically adept than me add Bugjuice to this Afd? Note the author has replied on talk page of that one. I think subject fails WP:BAND too...-Hunting dog (talk) 09:50, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I am new to wiki, but I am a little confused as to what the problem is. This musician is becoming pretty big in the underground music scene and though you havent heard of him that doesnt have anything to do with the tens of thousands that have. He has played many concerts in his local state as well as elsewhere in the US. I have seen many other wiki pages for other underground artist that are far less known. and those pages dont have these discussions on them!? Musicryda (talk) 07:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: We have fairly specific criteria on how bands and musicians qualify for Wikipedia articles. If you have found articles on artists who don't meet these criteria, please nominate them as well. Just because similar articles exist, that doesn't mean this one qualifies: the others might not qualify and have simply avoided notice. — Gwalla | Talk 17:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Exactly. Beyond Gwalla's comments, what we need is proof that, as you say, tens of thousands of people have heard of him. The way you do that is by coming up with reliable sources about him: magazine or newspaper articles, or some evidence that he has been interviewed on TV or radio.

Comment: Oh ok, my apoligies, I didnt know an artist had to have a tv interview to be on wiki, i guess just delete this page.Musicryda (talk) 21:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.30.207 (talk) [reply]
