Black Metaphor

Music producer who does not satisfy general notability or musical notability. Two previous articles have already been deleted; see Articles for deletion/Black Metaphor (2nd nomination). The edit summary states "Republishing formerly removed page", which is likely to qualify for G4. In any event, there is nothing in this article that is more recent than the date of the deletion discussion. Neither of the "most notable works" provide a basis for musical notability.

 * The original article was removed by the poster and was not deleted.  There have been several major placements since this deletion and I will add those now. Jimfrickebigred (talk) 16:11, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I have added a major placement on a major album, and this placement was the title track of the album.  This is more than enough "most notable works" to be listed and satisfy musical notability. Jimfrickebigred (talk) 16:49, 23 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete The comment "The original article was removed by the poster and was not deleted" is not true. Evidence shows the first article was a speedy delete. The second was deleted after a fair discussion. I'm not sure what is meant by "major placement," but the new works added to the article are just more examples of attempted NOTABILITY CONFERRED, as this producer is just one of a dozen or so on the work but lacks RS recognition. Yes, sources are provided but the discussions of the merits of these sources from the second AfD nomination still stand. ShelbyMarion (talk) 12:08, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
 * A "major placement" is a production credit on an album funded by a major label. If you're going to delete music pages you should learn the terms used in the music industry.   Having the title track on an album that charted in the Top 10 on Billboard is plenty of recognition to be notated on wikipedia, as the other producers from this project are.
