Caleb haskell

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Barely escapes the speedy deletion criteria but this should still be deleted. This teenager is simply not notable and some of the claims are preposterous. For instance the article says that in 2013, he had a number 1 Billboard single as a 14 year old. In fact, iTunes has never heard the name "Caleb haskell". The article is currently entirely unreferenced and it's pretty clear from the username that the editor is editing with a conflict of interest. Pichpich (talk) 19:50, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Completely unsourced article, whose only substantive claim to passing WP:NMUSIC is verifiably false — in addition to iTunes, I checked Billboards chart archive and there's no indication of him ever having a charting hit there either. While a Google search verifies that he exists per social media presence, there's zero reliable source coverage — basically, this is a classic case of "musician who wants to use Wikipedia for PR purposes creates article containing false or self-aggrandizing claims that aren't actually verifiable as true". Delete', no prejudice against recreation, in a more neutral, encyclopedic and properly referenced form, in the future if and when he can actually be properly sourced as passing NMUSIC for something.

 * Delete per nom and per Bearcat. Simply not notable whatsoever. "Hey there!  How's it goin'?"  03:14, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as clearly there's barely anything here, including anything for the applicable music notability. SwisterTwister   talk  07:26, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
