DJ Smallz

Contested speedy. Does not meet any of the biographical guidelines, especially WP:MUSIC. JBsupreme (talk) 23:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep ('Twas me who declined the speedy.) – According to The New York Times (July 20, 2006), "'Southern Smoke' is a brand name belonging to DJ Smallz, from Florida, and it’s among the most reliable brand names in the notably unreliable mixtape world." DJ Smallz was also mentioned in the same paper (January 28, 2008) for a different compilation, got some press for being nominated for the 2008 Mixtape Awards, and, as the article notes, he hosts a show on Sirius Satellite radio for which has received some press. These are not trivial mentions. There's enough for WP:N, or WP:MUSIC criterion #1. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 02:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep short article about a notable subject; the solution is to expand the article. The nominator has been making borderline bad-faith deletion nominations for weeks now in the subject of hip-hop. Chubbles (talk) 04:54, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Multiple interviews by independent publications proves notability. However, article needs to be expanded. LK (talk) 17:28, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Paul Erik, the sources cited suggest adequate notability to me. RFerreira (talk) 17:31, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
