Zacari[edit]

He may be famous one day, but his current claim to fame is his affiliation with Kendrick Lamar, and notability is not transferable. Gsearch revealed minor mentions in relation to the release of DAMN, and some hits at Discogs. Esprit15d • talk • contribs 01:55, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree he should not be able to WP:INHERIT notability from Kendrick Lamar. Per WP:MUSICBIO the article should be deleted. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 02:18, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly respect your opinion, and AfD is designed for such discussions, but your accusations against fellow editors are uncivil and unfounded. I did perform an investigation before I nominated. Even the links you provide seem to confirm the point behind the nomination. The first line of the first article is, "Being mentioned alongside Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna and U2 is a dream for many artists, but for singer-songwriter Zacari Pacaldo, it’s a reality." Kendrick Lamar's name is in ALL but one of the urls, and that link leads to an article about how inappropriate it was that Zacari crashed the stage at the People's Choice Awards and other elite events. I wish him the best, and hope that one day he warrants an article in WP, but currently, he seems to fail notability standards. Please be more civil in your opinion, as it makes this process needlessly hostile.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 10:50, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Just reviewed the People's Choice Award's link, and that's Zacari Nicasio, not the Zacari of the article.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 11:04, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know Wikipedia's rules for deletion of musicians, but I wanted to note that this article was valuable to me. I'm cataloging Lamar's album "Damn" for the Dallas Public Library, and this article gave me a quick, single-source location to get the data points of Zacari's full name, while also confirming that this is the Zacari associated with the Kendrick Lamar album. -KM 27 April, 2017 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.97.145.2 (talk) 13:03, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
