JAK3 (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can't find a single item in WP:BAND that JAK3 passes. A google search finds a computer game and a protein kinase before him - he first appears on page 4 of a google search for me, and it's his Facebook page. I can't find anything that isn't self-published. Slashme (talk) 08:34, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - He's done nothing. Probably speediable, unless recording music in your basement and putting it up online counts as an indication of importance. --Bongwarrior (talk) 08:46, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND, only five relevant results found on Google, all of which were mostly social networking sites. hmssolent \Let's convene My patrols 11:31, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - Has released a single on iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify in 2012 with a second single to be released on the same platforms on April 2nd, 2013. Has worked for musician Prince. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.27.50.93 (talk) 19:54, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - JAK3 is well-known in the Prince community as a new associated artist. Prince publication "Beautiful Nights" will be publishing an interview with JAK3 this week. There are plenty of non self-published references to JAK3 if you take the time to add the word "producer" or "music" after "JAK3" in a google search. The video game and the protein kinase showing up in searches are more due to an unfortunate name than non-relevance. Thevoid1843 (talk) 23:58, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment: I just googled for "JAK3 music" and found self-published sites (e.g. his twitter feed and his own website) and music for the computer game. To establish notability according to the General Notability Guideline, please point us at multiple independent reliable sources that discuss him: that is, that mention him more than just naming him as a supporting act or as an item in a list. For example, this is not a reliable 3rd party source, as it's a press release. --Slashme (talk) 21:58, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, for another example, the entry at PrinceVault.com is on a fan website, and refers to Jak3 as a fan, not an associated act, of Prince's. --Slashme (talk) 22:10, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
