Doughboy Beatz

Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. Unable to locate reliable secondary sources to support notability. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:02, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: this AfD probably needs to be considered alongside Doughboy Beatz production discography. The subject has clearly worked with notable artists, but per WP:INHERITED that doesn't make Doughboy Beatz notable, and in addition his work appears to be on non-notable mixtapes by those artists, not charting releases.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Cavarrone 07:49, 5 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete – Source searches are only providing passing mentions in mostly non-reliable sources. Does not meet WP:BASIC at this time, and finding no evidence that the subject meets WP:MUSICBIO. North America1000 02:55, 14 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - This page has been active for years, as well as had many other Wikipedian edits, with no deletion flags. Search results on the subject may seem lacking with how common of a term "doughboy" is. He was notable enough of a music producer to have just received a verified badge on Twitter.   Also, according XXL (magazine), he just recently produced on a Billboard charting album which meets WP:BASIC.   Also, this seems to meet WP:MUSICBIO via MTV.

 * The Twitter link doesn't contribute to notability. The XXL Magazine link merely mentions his name.  And the MTV link appears to be self-published; it sounds completely promotional, and at the bottom of the webpage it states "This site contains content from artists, fans, and writers from around the internet in it's natural form".

 * Keep - Agreeing with BigBoi87 here. JayPe (talk) 14:02, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and delete Doughboy Beatz production discography as well: Boyboi's first argument is WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Second sentence is completely irrelevant to the subject or his notability. Doughboy Beatz produced just one track on that Billboard-charting album (Young Jefe 2), and it wasn't the song in the XXL link. The MTV biography is almost certainly a mirror of the Wikipedia page, as much of it is word-for-word the same – this is kind of confirmed by the fact that the "official site" link on the MTV page leads back to the Wikipedia article, not the artist's own page. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Richard3120 (talk) 17:33, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:MUSICBIO states that a subject "may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria: #2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." An instance was provided and sourced in the article you guys seem to be overlooking:
 * - “Brandon produced Trai'D's breakout single "Gutta Chick" that made it's way onto the Billboard Hot 100 charts which jump started his production career.”
 * This was the spark that solidified me investing time into writing up the Doughboy profile in the first place. That meets WP:MUSICBIO. In addition, most of his productions are available on iTunes, so to dismiss all his work as being on non-notable mixtapes and non-charting albums as you and Magnolia677 said initially, is wrongful and misleading. Also, as the author of this subject’s entry, I can attest to the the fact that this Wiki derived from the MTV artist page--not the other way around. As this this shows, there was an actual “official website” but has since been shut down. The redirect to Wikipedia came after the fact entirely._Boyboi87 (talk) 13:43, 16 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete insufficient sources found.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:15, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as this is blatant advertising and that's all we need to say, since there's clearly nothing but what the subject advertised about himself. SwisterTwister   talk  05:05, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - This entry seems to be sourced to the brim with context validating this music producer's notability. I don't understand why it was even flagged for deletion in the first place.  I've read articles on Wiki with far less frame of reference. _JenniferLance7 (talk) 07:29, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - as some of the entries above. Oleryhlolsson (talk) 15:45, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
