Sergiu Nadasan[edit]

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

There are just three non-cruft sources. Let's analyze them:

a blog post that's not even about the subject
another blog post
a 2009 interview in the local paper (Adevărul is a national paper, but this is from the edition for Târgu Mureș, the subject's hometown)

The first two can be dismissed out of hand. As for the third: a single interview where one spews platitudes such as "I like sunny summers and snowy winters" or "I'd love to mix for a night at Space in Ibiza" simply does not rise to the level of "multiple, non-trivial, published works" demanded by WP:MUSICBIO. Given the scarcity of sources, we should delete. - Biruitorul ^Talk 14:37, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first source in discussion has been added later on and it serves the purpose of establishing the authority of the artist in question, as the interviewee admits to having been helped by the artist in question to create and publish their own music. And it is not a blog post.

The second source you are calling is from Resident Advisor which is not a blog but a reputable internet database and an authority on the matter with a selection process!

Last time I checked the Wikipedia guidelines clearly specify that sources CAN be in a different language, other then English.

The first two can not be dismissed out of hand.

The third one does seem to be from a very old source indeed.

You also seem to be ignoring other reputable sources and very biased in your opinions. I would also not call releasing music on over 4 different record labels from more than 4 countries on 3 continents as not rising above trivial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robie M (talk • contribs) 15:18, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Whether techno.ro is or is not a blog, the fact that "DJ Shiver", who is a nobody, acknowledges having received "a little help" from Nădășan, in no way substantiates a claim of notability for the latter. As for Resident Advisor, I invite participants to check for themselves: the content is user-submitted. We're still waiting for "multiple, independent, non-trivial, published works". - Biruitorul ^Talk 19:09, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I originally wasn't going to continue fighting you on this anymore but seeing how this looks more and more like a personal, spiteful vendetta of yours with the subject for some reason, and less and less about the actual wikipedia guidelines you so much claim to serve, or else you would have probably started on a different tone and went about it in a different approach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers), I think I'll go down with the ship if I must. You cannot wrongfully call them blog posts in an effort to undermine them as sources and then claim it doesn't matter if their not blogs. It obviously matters since you tried to sneak them in as that. You have no authority on claiming who might be somebody and who might be nobody. At least not in this matter. Discogs AND Resident Advisor have both been reliable and reputable sources in the past, are in the present and will continue to be long before you stopped wishing they weren't, as proven by their extensive use in the wikipedia pages of some of the biggest artists on wikipedia. As for the non-trivial, I'm afraid there I might have not been very clear as the non-trivial is inherited in the article, or would you like to name a couple of your own trivial friends that fulfilled the "trivial" tasks of signing different music to 4 different record labels from 4 different countries on 3 separate continents before they turned 26? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robie M (talk • contribs) 06:06, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: given the lack of content and the invalidity of the three non-cruft sources, it's a delete from me. DrStrauss talk 19:50, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
