No notability by WP:MUSIC. Sources are a mixture of blogs, stores, user edited and primary sources. No other reliable sources found (artists name does make things more difficult. Article creator removed prod. Duffbeerforme (talk) 06:34, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am also nominating the artist's releases:
- Don't Ask Me / French Kiss (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

- Like You Do Remixes - EP (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Keep I, the creator of the article, did remove prod and called it vandalism because the sources used for references are reliable, they do establish very clearly the notability of the subject (Reviews, interviews, stores, articles on the subject). I, and other editors, have been editing and adding more references over the past year on this article, and will continue to do so until the discussion is closed. I did call the actions of the user who put the prod "vandalism" because he goes out of his way to "just" nominate articles I've created, or edited, for deletion. His actions seem more like a personal vendetta. The user, Duffbeerforme, makes it very difficult to communicate on his (talk) page. Bech86 (talk) 06:50, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete. The existence of the artist is proved, but I am still doubting his relevance. He didn't win any award (as a musician or through his recordings), he didn't have extended exposure in any major source... McMarcoP (talk) 09:10, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete NN. TheWeakWilled 12:26, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
-Weak Keep - While the artist may not be notable, it appears that there are enough reliable sources to let the article stand as-is. Though I would like to note support for deleting the sub-nominations on the songs. Lithorien (talk) 12:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)- Weak Delete Upon further review, it appears that Bech86 is the only contributer for the artist, which when combined with the weak notability assertion is enough to lead me to a WP:NN conclusion. Lithorien (talk) 12:53, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. While the articles are a great piece of work, I failed to find any sources to confirm notability. I know Google searches don't weigh much, but I'd expect at least one Google News hit on any notable artist or recording brand. I will, as usual, change my mind totally if notability is proven.

- Comment as far as the recordings go, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Sexy Boy EP /... L.Y.D. , Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Like You Do Remixes - EP and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Sexy Boy EP /... B.M.D., all from last year and all of which resulted in deletes. Has anything changed dramatically since then? If not they should all be speedy deleted under criterion G4..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:28, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- So much for my assuming good faith. I've clearly erred. Delete all elligble by G4 and salt. Duffbeerforme (talk) 17:16, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete all' - the artist is releasing works through a self-owned label, which always suggests it's not notable enough to meet our guidelines. I'm concerned by the sock-infested AFDs from last year, as well; nothing appears to have changed in terms of coverage of the artist since then. If someone turns up some major media coverage, I'd reconsider. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:50, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I Suggest letting the AfD run its course and salting afterwards. ChildofMidnight (talk) 22:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete remaining I've G4'ed those for which previous discussion existed. I'm tempted to SNOW close the rest, but won't. I will userify the deleted articles for improvement if anyone (e.g., Bech86) can demonstrate a single reliable source for any article they want restored--just ask on my talk page.
