JF1

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Promotional article for a musician of dubious notability. Several of the "interviews" posted as references are identical, suggesting press release copies. Google search on JF1 "El Tigre" shows little coverage outside of social media and user-submitted sites. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:30, 6 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom and WP:BAND&mdash;has this artist released more than two songs yet? P.Oxy.2354 (talk) 15:48, 7 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep Artist has released more than 2 records and has credible media sources who have covered his career. Multiple Media outlets will not write articles about an artist who has not done so. If a Wikipedia article is started by someone who is not familiar with wikipedia, that does not mean the subject they are writing about is not credible. I believe many times that mistake is made here on Wikipedia and editors are quick to nominate in "Bad faith" with out proper research. Unfortunately new editors are not familiar with Wikipedia to help build consensus and most articles get deleted by editors who make a sport out of nominating articles even if they are credible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.108.172.26 (talk) 17:42, 7 July 2011 (UTC) — 74.108.172.26 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete Hasn't hit any chart-hitting records yet. Minima  ©  ( talk ) 18:23, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Hello everyone, I do agree the person who originally wrote it did not do a very good job. But I was able to establish notability by adding reliable, secondary sources about the topic and researching the topic in multiple search engines including Google.com, Bing.com, and Yahoo.com. I also researched the sites that mention this topic and established they are reliable secondary sources. I helped the topic improve by verifying claims made and I verified all references. I added additional citations for verification and helped improve the topic by adding reliable secondary sources. He is also registered with ASCAP and has several Published works. The topic does meet  WP:BAND standards.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amandamelissa (talk • contribs) 19:52, 9 July 2011 (UTC)  — Amandamelissa (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete. Non-notable, unreliable references. Drmies (talk) 19:56, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Keep JF1 has 500,000 views on Myspace 10,000 Twitter followers and 1000 Facebook LIKES and counting, he probably has not even seen this page yet. If he really wanted to, he could post this page on Twitter, Myspace, and Facebook and there would be a flood of keeps..even worse he could contact the Latin press that has covered him and tell them wiki editors don't think their news sites are credible. I have seen one line stubs on wikipedia yet his page is up for deletion. In good faith I say keep. He is notable in the Latin community and if JF1 is trademarked which it is there will be no other JF1, he will be the only one on this site. Is he dubious for being Hispanic? I don't' get it. Some of the sites he has been interviewed by are top Latin music sites and press. Hispanics make up South America, Central America, parts of North America and Europe. If some one like JF1 and the Latin sites listed are discriminated against, everyone who is Latino or Hispanic will hear about it. You will probably make him more notable than you think. In order for you to Delete his page under the reasons stated by editors who voted delete you would have to delete every other page who the same can be said about but is still on Wikipedia. In good faith I say keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.121.70 (talk) 21:51, 10 July 2011 (UTC) — 207.237.121.70 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete Fails WP:MUSICBIO Tb hotch .™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!  See terms and conditions.  06:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Lack of significant coverage means this fails the WP:GNG, the obvious socking above is not helping the processes. Mtking (talk) 03:38, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Comment love the hypocrisy in on all of this, how you guys abuse block policies, try to intimidate new users with blocking them, disrupt valid topics and edits if you don't like someone. You don't even know who JF1 is. Its obvious he is not responsible for any socking or even creating this page. You think he can't pay someone to create a wiki page. He does not care about this page because he prob has not even seen it yet. Sooner or later the people at his label will and this will become WikiArizona. He can afford a publicist as stated by Mike Wizowski, but every artist can. I should change my vote...Delete the page I have already taken screen shots of the entire deletion sorting page just in case. And who ever that 207 IP address is thanks for that comment and standing up for what's right!!! I keep taking screen shots of how this comment keeps getting altered. I said Delete because I disagree with everyone who said Delete. The page has been locked for days when everyone who said Delete could have just help fix it. I do not trust Wikipedia consensus and the good faith that was asked for has not been giving in return. Some one will revert this comment again and I will have the screen shots to prove it. The only person who can change a comment is the person who wrote it. If this page is deleted that will not end the argument. I will make sure others know what happened to JF1's Wikipedia page and it will be out of Wikipedia's jurisdiction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.108.84.172 (talk) 05:46, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
