A.Jayones

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not yet notable per WP:MUSICBIO. Sole claim to notability is having produced one track on an upcoming album for Lil Wayne; the rest is mixtapes with no indication of notability. No significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources. Speedied A7 two days ago as AJayones. WP:TOOSOON at best. Dai Pritchard (talk) 08:21, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

 * The sources I were right there. Didn't you people see the proof? The Hitmakers (Talk) 11:27, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The problem with the sources is that they're all from fan sites, blogs and social media, and not WP:Reliable sources. The claim that he produced the single for Lil Wayne also turns out to come from a fan site too: I'd thought lilwaynehq.com was Lil Wayne's official website, but it's just a fan site. Billboard says that Lox produced it, and since it hasn't even been released yet, there are no official production credits for us to check to WP:VERIFY the claim.

 * There are more sources that say it was produced by A.Jayones than the Lox. The Lox aren't even record producers. They're just rappers. The Hitmakers (Talk) 01:46, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Even if we can verify that he produced that one potentially notable single, there's a wider issue of the lack of in-depth coverage from WP:RS, as discussed in WP:MUSICBIO. . All I can find are passing mentions. Can you find any interviews with him, or profiles on his career, maybe from an online or print magazine? Thanks, Dai Pritchard (talk) 06:18, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I only found one interview on his SoundClick page. The Hitmakers (Talk) 02:32, 26 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - Another obscure rapper with no significant or in-depth coverage, multiple searches found nothing. SwisterTwister   talk  19:03, 26 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Are you saying that page is not A.Jayones or what? The Hitmakers (Talk) 06:31, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * No, I'm saying he is not notable. SwisterTwister   talk  04:40, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * What do you mean NOT notable? The Hitmakers (Talk) 02:57, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The minimum standards of notability for music biographies are listed at WP:MUSICBIO. He doesn't meet any of the criteria there yet. Dai Pritchard (talk) 19:08, 27 April 2015 (UTC)


 * So what should I do? The Hitmakers (Talk) 07:44, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, you could save a copy of the article as a draft, and when his career takes off and he starts to get some solid press coverage, you can put the updated article back up. Let me know if you want a hand with that. Dai Pritchard (talk) 05:52, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
