Davo (musician)

Fails WP:NMUSIC.

On Talk:Davo (musician) is a detailed analysis of a previous incarnation's references. Many of those are still present. Some have been replaced with equal quality references. I could present a full analysis here, but you can assess them easily anyway.

This has been moved repeatedly from draft: space by the creating editor, moved back because it is for a non notable musician. Please do not suggest that this be draftified. A number of WP:AFC reviewers, me included, have tried hard to convince the editor that this needs referencing or it will not survive. This needs to be a hard delete and a salting, please.

All of the references are passing mentions, links to track downloads, videos. social media and similar. WP:BEFORE has not found any useful references. When the gentleman's career takes off he may have an article. just not today. Fiddle  Faddle  07:15, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete No sourcing of any substance, fails WP:NMUSIC. Calliopejen1 (talk) 07:32, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom Zoozaz1 (talk) 04:58, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as a not (yet) notable person failing WP:GNG and WP:NCREATIVE with insufficient coverage in reliable independent in-depth sources. The only non-trivial sources (billboard.com, hollywoodlife.com, miaminewtimes.com) are basically yellow press churnalism interviews with most content from the person. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 10:17, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Note that the creating editor has just removed the AfD notice from the article, I have replaced it and warned them about removal Fiddle   Faddle  22:30, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , traits of an editor not here to build an encyclopedia. Celestina007 22:34, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , I hope that you are wrong. I try to believe the best of every editor Fiddle   Faddle  22:45, 6 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Falls short of any known notability criteria. This AFD by is a good call as a G4 might come in handy in future as I anticipate this article to be recreated multiple times in future. Celestina007 22:32, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * delete absolutely garbage sourcing. Praxidicae (talk) 00:37, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment The rapper has had a hit in quite serious numbers and he/she is probably notable. Is there no sources that can even satisfy WP:THREE as it is likely a new article will be re-created shortly.  scope_creep Talk  08:47, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Does not satisfy either musical notability or general notability. The insistence of the submitter on pushing this page into article space is typical of undisclosed paid editing.  In Wikipedia, there is no deadline; but there is a need for paid editors to get paid, so we need to deal with them.  Robert McClenon (talk) 15:27, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , I have left them a level 1 warning to require them to self declare or deny paid editing based upon my perception of their behaviour and your comment Fiddle   Faddle  17:13, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - See also the history of Davo, which has been salted due to previous tendentious re-creation. Should probably also salt the qualified title, and may need to consider the title blacklist.  Robert McClenon (talk) 20:36, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Noting that Davo, which was salted in 2007 (and unsalted and resalted in 2012 for reasons entirely unconnected to content), had nothing to do with Davo the rapper. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 09:48, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Good note. That notwithstanding, the determination used to create this material suggests that a proper salting is a wise outcome Fiddle   Faddle  10:10, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
