J-Live[edit]

The subject appears to fail WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Through searching, the artist lacks significant coverage in reliable sources to merit an article. The AllMusic bio cited is basically it and Wikipedia is not a directory. STATic message me! 20:04, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. How hard did you look? Hip Hop DX, Rap Reviews, Prefix Mag, Exclaim!, Okay Player, Pitchfork, AV Club, Spin, and so on; he's been covered multiple times in most of these sources. - Wetdogmeat (talk) 21:08, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The subject passes WP:BASIC and point #1 of WP:MUSICBIO. Source examples include:

Pique newsmagazine
San Francisco Bay Guardian
Pitchfork
Exclaim
Spin (very short article)

Keep Not to pile on, but as noted above the subject clearly passes GNG. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:49, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See this is why Google sucks, 10 pages of results and all I was getting was garbage. Maybe if the citations were present in the article, this would not have been a problem. STATic message me! 04:24, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Google does suck and yes creators need to be more on the ball with their sources. But that's life. I have had my head handed to me a couple times for dicey AfD noms. It happens. -Ad Orientem (talk) 05:40, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
