DJ Scandalous

I would expect a 3x Grammy winner to have sources (and coverage) supporting such claims but alas, here we are. The sources in the article are all primary listings and unreliable (lyrics sites, etc...) appears to fail WP:NMUSIC Praxidicae (talk) 14:52, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

 * That doesn't mean he is a Grammy award winner. Praxidicae (talk) 15:16, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Here's proof KENNY BARTOLOMEI is a grammy winner:

 * Delete per nomination, unless anyone can come up with a reliable source to prove that the subject has won these awards. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 15:36, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment @Scandalous2005, your username is very similar to the subject of this AfD discussion: please could you clarify whether you have a connection with him? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 15:39, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment - I don't have a connection with him personally. I'm just a fan of his.  What about this article on the Grammy website?:

 * Also, here's another video. It's Kenny Bartolomei in the thumbnail.  I guess I'm confused at how there's no believe he's won a Grammy when he was with the group until 2018 and they won the Grammy for Mary J. Blige's album in 2006.

 * Here's Kenny's name shown as apart of the Grammy winning collective J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League: https://ilovesf2.com/2011/06/07/j-u-s-t-i-c-e-league-for-crooks-castles-summer-2011/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scandalous2005 (talk • contribs) 16:03, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Last article unless I find a much better one. This has his picture with at the forefront with the other two members behind him.  It also goes indepth about the Grammy win with Mary J. Blige with comments from Kenny.

 * Comment notability is not inherited: is there any evidence that DJ Scandalous has done anything which might confer individual notability per WP:NMUSICIAN? ~dom Kaos~ (talk)
 * Comment He appeared on Matt Houston's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Houston_(singer)_ "Racines" album under Sony Music France (https://www.allmusic.com/album/racines-mw0002406658) where you can see the music video "La Gogo" that has an intro from Styles P and Jadakiss of the LOX (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lox), a big rap group (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VR3X529-8U) and has collaborated with Trina (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trina), Red Cafe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Caf%C3%A9) and others. You can see the video he's done with them in the "singles" section of this wikipedia page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scandalous2005 (talk • contribs) 17:35, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment His music spins in the UK.  For example, he plays on Switch Radio 107.5FM (https://www.switchradio.co.uk/schedule) and had a live interview on 03 March 2020.  Here's the interview:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du2mCLFmRhM
 * Also, here's a bunch of articles on him:

 * Not to mention he was nominated for a Chicago Music Award last year which is sited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scandalous2005 (talk • contribs) 17:55, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I also found he was a songwriter / producer for a song called "The Dark Out of Nowhere" on the Soundtrack of "The Heartbeats" (2017) with Jay Weigel (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5281700/soundtrack). Here's a photo of them during that time. (https://www.instagram.com/p/BF5W1H7FbNC/)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scandalous2005 (talk • contribs) 18:18, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Last one: apparently he produced the opener of the Guy's Choice: Perfect 10 on SPIKE TV in 2016 with Jay Weigel too.  (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1060551854011318)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scandalous2005 (talk • contribs) 18:25, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment Maybe you should add the above information to the article itself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirstjen (talk • contribs) 22:59, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I just added the new information to the article.  Hopefully this helps.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirstjen (talk • contribs) 20:09, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - The above discussion is an awesome act of diversion, with paragraphs of useless blather about how somebody else (K. Bartolomei) won an award. Who cares? DJ Scandalous is under discussion here, and in Wikipedia, notability is not inherited. Some of his works have AllMusic listings but with no reviews or commentary, and he has been listed as present at various events. That does not add up to the "significant" and "independent" coverage requirements at WP:NMUSICIAN. All else to be found, including the many links copied above, are unreliable social media and streaming entries, plus reprinted press releases and friendly intro interviews. ––  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:12, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Despite the immense amount of text and evidence posting above, this remains an artist with no RS stating his notability. There is reference to him being a Grammy award winner, but he was part of a production team of a number of people who one the award, it wasn't to him specifically.

 * Delete per above. I agree completely with the characterisation of these "sources". Reyk YO! 09:54, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
