The result was delete. Consensus was that the links addressing the subject and the subject's music did not constitute the substantial and independent coverage needed for notability. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  17:56, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Many links to itun or trivial mention in barely notable sources. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:02, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

I disagree that it Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Many link are notable links including itunes and apple music pages. He is also a DJ on a corporate radio station Nawnsens (talk) 02:44, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per Magnolia677's reasoning as well as the previous AfD on the same subject. Lithorien (talk) 04:09, 25 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:MUSIC. Sources are pretty much limited to sites where you can download the subject's music and co-hosting a show on a local radio station does not confer notability.  Hut 8.5  11:32, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Example 3 Those are just a few of many links that not only back up numbers 1 & 7 from the requirements, that this DJ who is apart of The Chopstars which have been features in NY times, Revolt (TV channel) and more is more than qualifed
 * Again I disagree siting 1. from WP:MUSICBIO stating that Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself. This artist has had different release that are "independent of the musician" which i believe that these releases fall under that I also site 7. from the same WP:MUSICBIO which states and I quote "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability" Example 1 Example 2

 * Comment - (I have added "nowikis" to keep the above comment from spilling off the page).


 * First, I'm not sure what you mean by "siting 1"? Also, I scrutinized each of the citations listed.


 * The first, titled "This Shit Here Nigga Vol. 11 [OG Ron C & The Chopstars Present", is just a promo site to buy records. Not a reliable source, plus, it just mentions his name.  No bio.


 * The next, is a Wikipedia site.


 * The next is a repeat of the first source you listed.


 * Finally, this link doesn't even mention Mr. Hollygrove.


 * Again, I don't agree that he's "more than qualifed (sic)" for an article yet. Magnolia677 (talk) 04:11, 31 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - as per nom. Clearly, this doesn't pass either WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:34, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
