Notability, lacks reliable sources, appears to fail WP:Musicians Studerby (talk) 03:02, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This is a case of a promotional article for a nn artist - and these articles are unfortunately becoming more and more common here on Wikipedia. Author User:Positive360 has contributed solely on this article over a course of several weeks. Along with the tone of the article this suggest that there may well be a WP:COI, i.e. self-promotion.
- The song reached #34 in a very specific category chart (Christian Rap) on a social networking site. That doesn't confer notability. He is not signed by a record company and all the refs provided are to facebook/myspace/blogs etc.
- The real problem I have with this article is that the author has gone to great lengths to give the appearance of notability by adding links to purported press releases, event calendars and other sites to give the impression that this person has coverage. On closer inspection all of this sites are user provided content sites or personal websites. Travelbird (talk) 07:45, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
