Promo piece created by a blocked sockpuppet. Sourced by pr, wikipedia, blogs and a school newspaper. Not good enough for WP:N. Did not make the NFL. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:58, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Delete per G5. Mdann52 (talk) 13:24, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Technicly this might not meet the letter of G5. This article was created one day before the bloccking of fellow sock Voidz. Based on the serial sockinging and the throwaway accounts used its likely that an account involved in this spamfest has been blocked before. Ignore all rules, denying this puppetshow the fruits of their promotional labour is in the best interests of Wikipedia. G5 delete. duffbeerforme (talk) 14:04, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I declined the WP:CSD#G5 nomination as invalid. The article was created prior to any block or ban of any of the author's accounts. There was no block evasion going on at the time. ~Amatulić (talk) 15:28, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep if cleaned up. Okay, it might be an article created by a blocked sockpuppet. It might be self-promotional. And the references in the article are not the kind of reliable sources that we like to see. BUT -- the subject has generated significant news. Information is verifiable. Reliable sources DO exist to validate the notability of the subject. From there, the issue is one of content rather than deletion. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:33, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete If his record label article is kept, I would redirect to there. But Guys who start record companies are a dime a dozen. The list of what look to be high school sports awards is a strong sign that real notability is lacking. Mangoe (talk) 11:34, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Capricious comments in AFD discussions without any rationale are dismissed without consideration. Toddst1 (talk) 16:03, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Although gnews gives 40-odd hits, all but one of these are WP:ROUTINE coverage of his non-notable high-school and college football, which is far short of WP:NGRIDIRON (not professional) and doesn't meet WP:NCOLLATH. The one exception is a trivial mention as being CEO of his record company in an article about that company signing a band. Dricherby (talk) 11:08, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
