No real notability and reads like a memorial.  Lugnuts  (talk) 12:22, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - References include a BBC article. Article just needs some improvement. Aequo (talk) 14:24, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Having a BBC article mention you does not in itself make you notable. --Golbez (talk) 14:41, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - The BBC article is enough to start with. If the article can't be expanded with other references, it can be nominated later. Human.v2.0 (talk) 17:21, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The BBC article makes reference to three people being shot, and one happens to be this guy who is a musician. How does he pass WP:BIO or WP:MUSICIAN?  Lugnuts  (talk) 18:48, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete no sign that it meets WP:MUSIC. There isn't a single article about this singer other than his death so it fails the multiple non-trivial sources criteria.  He hasn't released an album, won an award, gone on a concert tour, been featured on TV/radio, etc.  I doubt it's even big enough to mention in the Mexican Drug War article, a possible redirect target if this doesn't get deleted. hbdragon88 (talk) 21:34, 15 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - Only notable for his death, not his music, and his death didn't shock the world like poor Wang Yue. --Madison-chan (talk) 23:32, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, no assertion of notability. --Golbez (talk) 19:17, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete and redirect. All the sources available are reports of his dead, all of them very similar in content, and all of them providing minimal coverage of the subject or his work, and even very little discussion of the assassination itself, which makes me suspect that this will simply be filed as yet another cartel related incident. A redirect is more desirable than a red link, though, given the current level of exposure of the event, but I'm not sure about the target. Mexican Drug War is an option, although right now it refers to events related to journalists alone — Frankie (talk) 21:09, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
