SPA account has created article with tenuous references. Single EP release last month detailed in Discogs as played on two albums, in last six months. Brand new but simply not notable. Fails WP:BIO and WP:BAND. In previous Afd, IP SPA account 2601:380:8100:34F:3CB0:594D:B7A9:8565, argued that he was notable. SPA account 70.124.208.204, who is probably Greg Tanoose himself, came in an argued extensively that all sources were valid. Clearly not notable. scope_creep (talk) 21:26, 9 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep A Google search reveals pages of mentions, including sources as significant as the New York Post. A source backs up every sentence in this article, which is a very modest article about his notable productions. Each mentioned collaborator in this article acknowledges work with Greg Tanoose on their official social media accounts, there is no debate that the events took place. With each statement in this article being notable in itself, it is simply a matter of significant facts. A Google search reveals additional production work with notable hip-hop artists, which this article does not mention. This article will benefit from additional facts about this person's work, not deletion. The article is unbiased and states modest matter of fact, with each statement backed by a source. With many more sources available via a google search to back these claims, it is these facts and statements that are notable. It should be noted that Discogs does not reflect the large-scale digital and streaming notoriety. Discogs covers only physical products, which for a new artist is rare, and large-scale digital circulation of Greg Tanoose is revealed through a simple Google search. Google search also reveals significant circulation of his publishing in media, and this publishing is documented on BMI (which includes work with Universal Music). Further content in this article would reveal additional sources, it simply has not been mentioned in the article. The article cites a film on IMDB that is currently on Netflix, with Greg Tanoose credited as providing music. The article should not be deleted. Note: It is not helpful to this discussion to say "probably" of anything. I contributed to this article as a fan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.124.208.204 (talk) 01:40, 11 April 2017 (UTC) • — 70.124.208.204 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment The above comment has been copied verbatim from the previous Afd, with slight additional detail and all of it is non notable, as it's not backed up with verifiable sources. scope_creep (talk) 08:55, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment The comment applies since the comment for Afd nomination was copied verbatim from the last Afd discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.124.208.204 (talk) 17:03, 11 April 2017 (UTC)  — 70.124.208.204 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * The argument wasn't valid then, and it isn't any more valid now. You do realize that "mentions" are not meaningful for notability assessment? ~Anachronist (talk) 03:47, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough notability from newsworthy sources. Fatty wawa (talk) 03:02, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Greg Tanoose has a fan-base from his status as a new Club Kid (see article). As a budding artist, the option for a future page on Wikipedia should be left open in the event the page is built on stronger sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.124.208.204 (talk • contribs) 00:19, 13 April 2017 (UTC)  — 70.124.208.204 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Completely irrelevant. You don't get a Wikipedia article if you're a "budding artist". You must have already arrived. Even if protected against recreation, then the option for a new article is still always open in draft space (e.g. Draft:Greg Tanoose), where it will have ample time to be brought up to acceptable standards without concern about being deleted. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:47, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - clearly the SPAs involved in this article aren't getting the message. The subject fails WP:MUSICBIO. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:47, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources do not amount to passing GNG and the article is plagued by name dropping to try to show notability but not doing so.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:40, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
