Romeo J Miller[edit]

I have tried but have been unable to verify the contents of this article to any reliable sources. The article purports to be about a musician who has co-produced and/or co-written some of the biggest hits of recent years. It says he was involved in The Man (Aloe Blacc song) but Allmusic shows no credit for Romeo J Miller. It says he was involved in Lil Wayne's How to Love but Allmusic shows no credit for Romeo J Miller. It is similar for the other credits the article indicates. A songwriter this successful would likely have some mentions in established newspapers or music magazines but I cannot find any at all. New user MsRhiney-James offered many links at my talk page but there is nothing I see there that meets reliable-source standards; they are various blogs and user-generated content. I welcome other opinions about them from other Wikipedia editors.

In the interests of full disclosure of the background here, an IP user first identified a possible issue to me in October; see User talk:Paul Erik/Archive 10#Fake Producer/ Writer. This article has previously been deleted by me and I have blocked suspected sock puppets of Andreharrell who have been involved in repeatedly recreating this article (also at Romeo J Miller - Music Producer & Songwriter), for promotional purposes as noted at User talk:SonyAtvPub. But the main issue in my view is not the promotional edits but the lack of WP:V and WP:N support. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 01:50, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete - as possible hoax. Especially concerning is the lack of sources, and a Google search turned up nothing reliable. I doubt seriously that he meets general notability guidelines. --ceradon (talk • contribs) 04:20, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou Romeo [in Wikipedia]? Delete as a likely hoax. Contrary to the second sentence in the article, he is not listed among the 2015 Grammy nominees,[1] Not seeing anything that satisfies GNG either. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:32, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt, especially since new years seem to be popping up to create it now. Wizardman 00:54, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
