The result was   delete. I'm sorry Tani12 but there are simply not enough independent sources right now that show that he's been taken note of. This may change in the future but right now the consensus is that he shouldn't have an article. Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:01, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

page creator removed PROD, concern was lack of reliable sources concerning subject's notability Canuck My page89 (talk), 22:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator. Canuck My page89 (talk), 23:53, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - all the citations are to DJ King SamS's official site, other Wikipedia articles, a press release, a press kit, with no cites to reliable sources. A search does not come up with anything usable to substantiate notability. MathewTownsend (talk) 17:25, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Do Not Delete This is an encyclopedia, thus it has to feature all small and big things alike. DJ King Sams might not be a famous artist but his name was mentioned even before in English and French Wikipedia, proving his existence. You need to consider to let the article be. There are several other artist here who have similar external links to support them, so why is this article being side lined? I request experienced editors like you all to make suitable changes in the article rather than deleting it (Tani12 (talk) 23:36, 16 March 2012 (UTC)) — Tani12 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment - Simply verifying he exists is insufficient grounds for inclusion in Wikipedia. He needs to either meet general notability or specific criteria for musicians. -- Whpq (talk) 23:52, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete promotion, not notable. - Frankie1969 (talk) 11:52, 17 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment Have added a few external links of other artist where a mention of DJ King Sams is made. Is this not enough to stop this discussion?(Tani12 (talk) 23:26, 17 March 2012 (UTC))
 * Why don't one of you all try and edit this page to save it or send me clear suggestions for change(Tani12 (talk) 08:12, 18 March 2012 (UTC))
 * Reply - Have you read my comment above? The two guidelines mentioned identify what criteria needs to be met in order for a subject to be included in Wikipedia.  Is there coverage about him in newspapers or magazines?  I cannot find significant coverage and none has been brought forward.  If you are ware of such coverage then please present it.  Some minor mentions and a discography on Allmusic falls well short of the coverage that is needed to meet the inclusion criteria. -- Whpq (talk) 02:33, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

 *  Do Not Delete  : Here are a few links please let me know if this will be sufficient to prove the notability of DJ King Sams
 * Reply - No these are not. A very short piece from a site which may or may not be a reliable source and an Allmusic entry with no biographical information is not sufficient. -- Whpq (talk) 22:32, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
