WP:BLP of a songwriter, with no properly sourced claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. While he has cowriting credits with a successful musician, that's not an automatic notability freebie in the absence of adequate reliable source coverage about him to support an article -- but the references here are glancings namecheck of Ritchey's existence in an unreliable source list of Owen's songs, and a brief blurb in an industry trade publication about him signing a songwriting deal with a record label. So I'm willing to withdraw this if the sourcing can be improved, but nothing here entitles him to a Wikipedia article just because he exists if the sourcing for it is this weak.

I am not exactly certain why you believe the article Jimmy Ritchey should be deleted. Is it the fact that you believe the sources are vague, or unreliable, or is it that you believe that Jimmy Ritchey is not entitled to an article? Please, let me know, so I may try to improve the article in the direction you mean. Citation helper (talk) 01:04, 5 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - A significant number of blue-linked songs written by this subject, which should be taken into consideration. Carrite (talk) 16:51, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - A fairly clear pass of GNG here. See, for example, THIS PIECE from the Lewis County (WA) Chronicle. Carrite (talk) 16:53, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Note also that a label signing was deemed worthy of mention in the Aug. 4, 2001 issue of Billboard, pg. 31. LINK. Carrite (talk) 16:57, 7 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep, notability asserted as co-writer of a #1 hit on a major chart. Several notable songs in Category:Songs written by Jimmy Ritchey, and a few notable production credits, enough to populate Category:Albums produced by Jimmy Ritchey; multiple credits that overall pass WP:NMUSIC quite easily. I added a few more sources. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:20, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Notability cannot just be asserted; it has to be properly referenced. Passing NMUSIC is not a question of what the article says, but of how well it sources what it says — and none of the sourcing present in the article is acceptable. Bearcat (talk) 05:08, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 01:21, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. As stated, meets notability guidelines by being co-writer for a charted song. 331dot (talk) 00:40, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Your signature
Hi there. I noticed your signature does not contain a link to either your user or talk page but rather a link to our article talk. This is highly confusing. Please fix your signature to include a link to your userpage and/or your talk page. Here is an example of code that would fix it in case you don't know how to do it:  which produces  Citation helper  (talk). Regards  So Why  14:20, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

I noticed that on User talk:Citationhelper you stated that my signature does not contain a link to my user talk page, which indeed it does. perhaps there is something I missed, or you viewed an old signature of mine, but my signature is. Please tell me if I missed something or if there is something you want to elaborate on. Thanks for your time!  Citation helper  (talk) 20:17, 18 September 2017 (UTC)


 * That was probably it. I noticed it on Articles for deletion/Jimmy Ritchey and you probably changed it since then. Glad it works now. Regards  So Why  20:29, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Citationhelper is ✅ to and.
 * Not at all surprised this guy is a multi-sock/block evader. But I don't recognize these other user id's either. I wouldn't be surprised if he also has another account that I've had past interactions with that may have since been banned (or not). He has apparently only been here for 3 months but was all of a sudden very interested in a random ANI from almost 6 years ago (?)
