Cashis discography

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A discography of a questionably notable artist who has actually released only one album. The others listed are future albums. One future album was already deleted as a snowball delete under AfD, the other was in the nom, but the closing admin forgot to delete it. Fails WP:MUSIC, WP:NALBUMS, WP:CRYSTAL and WP:HAMMER. Author also has a WP:COI issue. He is the artists manager (as admitted on Talk:Cashis and has been made aware of the COI guidelines. Also started a page for his non-notable music label which can be found here: WP:Articles for deletion/Bogish Brand Entertainment.

 * Keep Appropriate references provided, and shows the artists work as a guest on albums and also has two albms coming in september which is also sourced. Rikanatti (talk) 23:32, 17 July 2009
 * Keep/Merge. The possible COI issue and other edits by the articles creator are irrelevant to this discussion. If Cashis is sufficiently notable to have an article (which he appears to be via coverage), the only consideration should be whether this (reasonably-but-should-be-better-sourced) information fits better within the artist's article or as a standalone discography article. Given the size of this, I think it's better left as a separate article, unless it's trimmed to cut out the speculation about future releases, which may mean that it fits within the artist's article.--Michig (talk) 07:37, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If everything that is speculation or not reliably sourced is removed, there is essentially nothing left. Niteshift36 (talk) 10:17, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep/Merge. The notability of the artist is not in question and therefore an inclusion of his discography seems fully within Wikipedia policy (I could not find any guidelines regarding discographies in all the acronyms you linked, only regarding artists or regarding individual songs and albums). --Reinoutr (talk) 06:10, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The violations of those are in that when nominated, there were unreleased songs/albums included, some untitled ones. I've removed those since the nomination. If I remove the info without a reliable source (which is most of it), there will not be enough left for this article. Niteshift36 (talk) 11:58, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Even so, the proper procedure is to merge the remaining info to the main article. --Reinoutr (talk) 06:56, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd find a merge totally acceptable. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:24, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and Merge into Cashis article only that info which can be cited to reliable, third-party sources (not much). — Satori Son 21:27, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
