Izzy (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not meet criteria of WP:MUSIC. The only reference in the article is a Twitter post, and I cannot find significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Contested prod. ... disco spinster   talk  21:22, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - As per nominator, no indication of notability, and insufficient coverage in reliable sources. --Gelobet sei (talk) 09:47, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. I was going to bring this to AfD for the same reasons myself, but decided to give discospinster first dibs. My thoughts of the article are best summed up on its talk page. -- WikHead (talk) 16:04, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - He hasn't even really released anything yet. -- Whpq (talk) 16:07, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

If you would like another few reasons why this article should remain on wikipedia then please read carefully through WP:MUSICBIO. This artist has created music which meets the Album, singles and songs part of WP:MUSICBIO. Please also read 'if the subject is not notable section of WP:MUSICBIO. The article avoids self promotion, his work can be verified through independent sources and the recording artist himself has the appropriate level of detail and significance for that article. Now in my opinion I think you did not compare the article with the information given on WP:MUSICBIO. Before replying make sure you have read through the whole article before making opinionised assumption of why the article I have written should not remain on wikipedia.

 * Reply - None of his work can be verified through independent reliable sources. Twitter is not a reliable source and is the only reference provided.  This fundamentally undermines your argument. -- Whpq (talk) 20:10, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Again you have replied without checking the article or WP:MUSICBIO. If you go to Izzy (musician) and go down to references there are independent sources listing the recording artists music. There is only 1 twitter reference which has been given on many wikipedia articles such as the reference for Justin Bieber's One Time single. The rest of the references on the article I have written come from music websites.

 * Reply - There was only twitter when I checked, but perhaps I had some issue with a cached version of the page. Blogs are not reliable sources.  -- Whpq (talk) 01:08, 23 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete No real evidence of notability or meeting WP:MUSIC is shown. I do not consider the references in the article as it stands as reliable sources. --sparkl!sm hey! 05:19, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

I now have enough references to support my article so that it is not deleted. Look at the references and you will see that the artists music has been hosted and placed on a major music website - HotNewHipHop. This website is 100% reliable, and can be used as an independant source as listed in WP:MUSIC to show the artists work.

 * Comment - Uploading your music to a site does not make it notable. Self-published sources are not a reliable source. -- Whpq (talk) 16:58, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't believe your argument is valid, to create an artist account on HotNewHipHop you are asked to provide references for your work so that they can approve you as a recording artist on there website. Stating the fact that the music on that website is self-published does not change the fact that the music is featured on a major music website. The references defianately apply with everything in WP:MUSIC.

 * Reply - Dude! Check me out!  I am Grand Master Q with the Wiki Wiki Wiki song.  That must mean I am notable too!  NOT! -- Whpq (talk) 22:18, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't demonstrate one criterion of WP:MUSICBIO and I can't find significant coverage in reliable sources. Hekerui (talk) 16:25, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
