Talk:Young Chozen

Notability
I know the reflex response to a new editor creating a page about a musician is to speedy it, but a bit of googling suggests the subject is notable, and this looks like a good candidate for keeping. Dolive21 (talk) 12:59, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Referencing
I've added the first reference. For what it's a reference for it seems to be WP:SELFPUB complaint, and reliable. Dolive21 (talk) 13:06, 28 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello, I found a couple of interviews that might be useful:
 * http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/Young_Chozen_The_Los_Angeles_rapper_with_the_La_La_Love_radio_hit/50190/p1/ and
 * http://www.newreleasetuesday.com/article.php?article_id=1113. Particularly the first seems to have some supporting information for the early life section. Acb314 (talk) 13:39, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

WP:PROD
I'm objecting to the use of WP:PROD as this is a work in progress, and is being fixed. Dolive21 (talk) 13:27, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Notability
I have been away from Wikipedia for a long time, so I'm rather rusty. What is accepted as proof of notability nowadays? From my limited experience in the music industry, those videos are too well shot (read, expensively shot) for him to be unsuccessful. He also has alot of Twitter followers.

 * No experience in this area but there is some guidance here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music) Acb314 (talk) 13:43, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Also, as iTunes would have it, he is "New and noteworthy" https://twitter.com/EgeMike/status/337029495737442304/photo/1 Dolive21 (talk) 13:55, 28 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I have added some more references and adjusted the tone of the article to remove some of the comments that sounded a bit like advertising. I have left some citation needed tags where I couldn't find a supporting reference, however as I haven't spent too long on this and have never heard of him before perhaps there is someone who can find some further supporting material. Artist seems notable, certainly in Christian Music circles anyway, there are quite a lot of google hits. Cheers Acb314 (talk) 14:49, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
