Cali The Producer

There is no evidence that the subject comes anywhere near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. None of the cited sources does more than mention "Cali the producer" briefly in passing or include him in a credit list, and searching for sources has failed to find any significant coverage of him.

To illustrate the nature of the cited sources, the first four are as follows. [1] A page about Chris Brown releasing a recording, in which the only mention of "Cali the producer" is "Encore une fois, l'artiste fait confiance à Cali The Producer, qui a déjà collaboré avec Drake". (Translation: "Again, the artist puts trust in Cali The Producer, who has already collaborated with Drake".) [2] A page about a Justin Bieber recording, the only mention of "Cali" being "produced by Cali The Producer and Skrillex". [3] A page about another Chris Brown recording, which includes "Producer: Cali The Producer" in a list of credits, and says "Cali The Producer handles production on the record". [4] A download page for a ringtone, the only mention of him being a statement that the record from which the ringtone tune was taken was "produced by Sebastian Johannes Fuchs, better known as Cali The Producer". The rest of the references are similar, and it didn't seem worth the effort of writing out a description of every one of them.

To illustrate the nature of what internet searches turned up, the first page of hits from a Google search for "Cali the producer" were as follows. This Wikipedia article; Twitter; Instagram; Facebook; YouTube; YouTube again; a page on Soundcloud which merely says "No tracks found for cali the producer" and that is all; a page on a site called "ink361.com" which is just a tool to access and organise pictures on Instagram; a forum post which asks whether the claims made about Cali the Producer on Wikipedia are genuine or whether he is "a robot who edits wiki pages to seem successful". The next couple of pages of hits are not much better: there are a few download sites, more pages giving his name in credits, etc etc, but nothing of the kind required by Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as there's nothing at all to suggest a better notable article for the applicable guidelines. SwisterTwister   talk  08:22, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete  the nominator has done extensive searches to prove no significant coverage exists. LibStar (talk) 13:59, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt: A repeatedly-created article about a non-notable person. The articles creator also goes around to different articles, crediting him with work he's never partook in. EG, Cali is never mentioned in the physical album booklet for Free TC, but the article creator insists he worked on three tracks. His official twitter also links to this article in the 'website' box, there is clearly a conflict of interest here, I'd go as far as to say that the article's creator is Cali the Producer.
