Don Kartel

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Originally PRODded on March 23. Original author wrote in email to OTRS saying that the notability should be OK now, but appeared not to realize the procedure here, so I'm transferring this to AFD. Here are the contents of the email sent to OTRS (with personal information removed):

This pertains to the article on artist " Don Kartel ". In addition to submitting a picture we wanted to further state that in light of the request for deletion, new material has been added in the artist's favour, that should serve as sufficient notability. The delete date would have been tomorrow, but upon realising today, the information was added. We would like to also add this picture to the article. Provide any problems may arise, feel free to contact us, and we shall be more than willing to rectify the matter

As much as possible what we aim to do is highlight the artist in a greater light, in that his bio can reflect his work ethic and accomplishments. The birthdate of the artist is Nov 30 1982, Born in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada...currently affiliated with Pro Records...formely a member "on point"..formely a member of "waiting room records" just in the event that you can give him a bio on par to other established artists such as lil wayne, chamillionaire etc.

Provided any problems may arise, feel free to contact us, and we shall be more than willing to rectify the matter

There are 3 external links, all of which we have added as updates

1 Hip Hop Canada Link 2 Ringtones Site @ Flextones 3 Myspace Links

I have no opinion the article, and am making the AFD nomination simply to bring this to the larger community. There was a photo attached to the OTRS email and if the article is kept, I will add it.  howcheng  {chat} 21:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - insufficient reliable sources. Unable to confirm the Atlanta rap magazine infromation, but n any case, there aren't multiple sources writing about him. -- Whpq (talk) 21:24, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment There is more than enough information to support to artist. The caught magazine myspace [www.myspace.com/caughtmagazine] shows the archive of its covers including December 2008 where he was featured on is found in the album pics. Certainly no-one would place a nobody on their magazine cover. It has been previously explained that the caught website has been re-done as of January 08, and the archives are mainly inaccessible unless via myspace.


 * Furthermore [www.flextones.com] clearly shows the artist featured. And finally shows the artist most recently released single as number five on their countdown. If these multiple sources aren't sufficient, then let us know what is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.58.71.143 (talk) 05:41, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  D u s t i talk to me 16:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Well if that's the way people feel, and the sources aren't adequate, then please delete it. I was the author. I felt that it was sufficient, maybe i was wrong.These complications really aren't worth my time. Aparently the artist was a pigment of my imagination. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kartelevision (talk • contribs) 07:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
