Jerry Calliste Jr.
Seems to be a non-notable hip hop music producer and occasional performer. Would have prod-ed this, but this genre of music is not my speciality, so bringing it here just to be safe. Few ghits, and a good proportion of those seem to be based off of this page Lankiveil 04:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * neutral I am waiting to be convinced, one way or the other. On the one hand, the article claims MANY notable traits (companies founded, awards won, etc.).  On the other hand, it is entirely unreferenced.  If no one can come to the defense of the article in question, I would slide toward delete.  If we can find some references, I would slide toward keep. --Jayron32 20:13, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep - An awful article full of redlinks, and really doesnt do well to establish the notability of the artist, until I realised he recorded in the 80's as Hashim, a legendary proponent of the 80's electro beatbox genre, whereby hip-hop grew out of electronic music. Hasn't done anything else by the look of it. He's probably still dining out on royalties from 'Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)' (which generates 18500ghits). --Amists 11:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep per amists.  Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim  13:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep and slap a sources tag on. Kavadi carrier 20:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up; his work as Hashim was pretty notable within the field. Four albums, charting single, etc. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 20:20, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
