DJ White Shadow[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

As a person, DJ White Shadow is not notable. Yes he might have co-produced one of the most successful singles in recent times ("Born This Way") but as a person his own notability cannot be inherited solely from that one song. There is no information of a biographical nature and thus an entire article based on his production work for "Born This Way" is not required. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 03:13, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per nom, the DJ himself, is not notable and in wikipedia notability guideline it says that any influent person in any scenario that has only one contribution to that relative scenario, this person's article probably does not meet the criteria to be kept Wikipedia, unless he is a upcoming producer with many upcoming projects and productions, otherwise the article should not be kept.

Keep - He does have a project of major importance coming up, an album that happens to be one of the most anticipated albums of 2011. And he is a pivotal character in its creation. As for biographical information that will surface as he gains recognition. If you delete this page it will be up by the end of the year, so you might as well keep it and let it develop as the year continues.

Wikipedia doesn't create pages in advance or in expectation of notability. Read WP:BLP. As for working on a notable project you need read my concerns very ... information about "Born This Way" is not that relevant to him as a person. Articles about people must specify why they are notable. A whole article stating he produced a number-one single is not relevant or notable. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 22:34, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then delete it. It's going to be on here by the time the year is over anyways. Jeez. And do you mean, vary? Comment by Logicalfoundationisdoubt ^[talk] 08:24, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete: Let me get this straight ... the fellow's notable because of a projected album that is not, in fact, by him? I don't think so. What part of the GNG or WP:CREATIVE does he fulfill? What reliable, third-party sources discuss him - not other artists for whom he's worked, him - in "significant detail?" Ravenswing 11:27, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
