Non-notable rocker self-advertisement. Orange Mike | Talk 02:46, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

keep It's not the best written article, but the problems seem to be easily fixed, and he doesn't seem so obscure that it warrants deletion. Badger2424 (talk) 02:51, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Badger, and the 18 references to somewhat reliable sources (including Rolling Stone Middle East). Also, seems to be badly written, but not promotional (at least IMHO). Jinkinson talk to me 03:08, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

comment I've changed the page a lot, and in my opinion it looks good enough to be saved. However, I might need a more experienced editor to take a look at it. Thanks! Badger2424 (talk) 04:34, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Always disturbing when a page is edited by an editor who has the same name as the subject of the article. As here. There's a lot of non-notable stuff reflected in the article. He played alongside a number of non-notable musicians, in non-notable bands, and worked at a non-notable studio, where he himself recorded and mixed non-notable music. And even this non-notable information is supported largely by refs of Wud himself asserting the information in interviews. Got it. But I don't see anything notable in accomplishments.

Delete. Non-notable. Per my above comment. Epeefleche (talk) 19:46, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

keep All of the references I've used are very reliable and are all known and official websites such as TimeOut, The Rolling Stone, etc... I have also mentioned that he opened a huge concert in Abu Dhabi for one of the world's most notable bands (Guns N'Roses) and he also performed with Skunk Anansie. Jay Wud is a very notable artist and especially in the Middle East. Therefore I'm sorry to say that Epeefleche's request to delete this article is invalid.

Delete. Sources amount to little more than gig guides and recycled press releases. No substantial coverage establishing notability. Guy (Help!) 19:32, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - there is not even an assertion that he passes any part of WP:BAND, for example touring internationally; playing a gig here and there is what musicians do. Opening for a famous band is so common as to be run of the mill, and fame does not rub off so easily. Bearian (talk) 13:55, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
