Jimmy London

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article does not see to pass WP:Band. Has a couple of unsuccessful albums on an idie record label. A google news search found nothing. Also a PROD tag which was placed on the article was deleted. Ijanderson977 (talk) 17:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * DELETE For reasons above as nominator. Ijanderson977 (talk) 17:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This AfD was previously tacked onto another one; I moved it. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Bad faith nomination in retaliation for the nomination of an article that he created. I explained the removal of the PROD tag. Jimmy London has had several chart hits in Jamaica and the UK, backed up by references, and albums on labels such as Trojan Records and its subsidiary Burning Sounds. Two good references demonstrating coverage in major works on the genre.--Michig (talk) 17:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Did not explain why he removed the PROD tag. and Ijanderson977 (talk) 17:52, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * "remove WP:POINTy PROD tag - plenty of releases on large labels, evidence of significant coverage" isn't explaining? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I explained why I removed it..--Michig (talk) 17:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep per Michig. Two sources in the article already assert notability; though the article needs major work, notability is quite clearly established in the article's existing condition. I say speedy keep per Michig's evidence that this is possibly a POINTy nom. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment poor references too Ijanderson977 (talk) 17:55, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Then try refimprove, not afd1. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep, article establishes notability as per WP:MUSIC. Appears to be a bad faith nomination.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 01:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
