Alejandro García (producer)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Believed not notable. The article claims that García produces for Alacranes Musical, but that page does not mention him and does identify a different producer. Neither his page nor that of Alacranes Musical on allmusic.com bear out the claim. The article contains a list of albums; the first in the list is "Furia Alacranera". This album's page on allmusic.com does not mention him (its page on amazon.com does not list the producer). a Google Nesws archive search for articles in English lists articles in Spanish. Searches on Google Books and Google Scholar are unhelpful (it's a common name). Citations in the article are unhelpful (the majority are Myspace pages martked as deleted or private).

 * Speedy delete I call WP:HOAX, since "Alejandro Garcia" + "Alacranes Musical" turns up nothing but Wikipedia mirrors, with no hits on Google News. Searching for "Alejandro Garcia" + "Productor" ("Producer" in Spanish) turns up nothing on a record producer, but rather information on a filmmaker of the same name.

 * Comment This isn't a hoax; the nominator's link above to an AMG profile for a regional Mexican producer/session guitarist named Alejandro Garcia substantiates that it's not a case of blatant invention. The case is complicated a little by the fact that metadata for Mexican releases, even on the discs themselves, is often far thinner than on US/UK/Canadian/etc. releases. Nevertheless, I don't see anything to substantiate the claims that he's done work with K-Paz or Down AKA Kilo, let alone Nate Dogg or Twista, and so his notability is still quite at issue.

 * It still falls under blatant hoax if everything in the article is a total lie, regardless of whether or not there is an actual producer/musician by that name. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:56, 11 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Totally insufficient evidence to support such grand claims made in the article. Most likely hoax Oxy20 (talk) 01:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
