Jason Matthews (singer/songwriter)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Asserts notability as co-writer of three songs that have articles, one of which went to #1. However, a Google News and Google Books search turn up nothing other than "[Patrick] Jason Matthews co-wrote song X." I also can't verify the claim that BDS cited the Billy Currington song as the most-played, but it doesn't matter; this is a pretty clear-cut case of WP:NOTINHERITED in that he wrote notable songs but he himself isn't notable as no third-party sources have given him any mention.

 * Weak delete he definitely wrote a hit song, but as a person there seems to be next to nothing to say about him besides that. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:57, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
