Listing after declined PROD. Other than the New York Times profile, which alone doesn't give the subject notability, there's no evidence of in-depth or widespread coverage, or any indication of musical releases that would give the subject notability. Ytoyoda (talk) 19:11, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge to Hefty Records. Hughes gets coverage for being a scion and for his music production and label work; either way, deletion isn't a profitable solution, so this is the wrong venue to bring the issue. Chubbles (talk) 19:27, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge one way or the other. Bearian (talk) 13:48, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment from requestor I think ' suggestion to merge to the Hefty article is reasonable. The music career doesn't appear to meet notability guidelines, and being a scion looks like a case of WP:BLPFAMILY, where it's based on his father's notability. The NYT piece is a pretty standard "day in the life of..." profile that doesn't require the subject to be notable, and musician interviews tend to be typical of the pre-album release publicity push that doesn't go that deep into the subject.

 * Comment - It appears that this individual has no notability outside the record label. In that case, the correct action (my opinion, of course) is to merge and re-direct.  Am I missing something?  As an artist (Slicker) he does not appear to be notable.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 14:41, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment See also these sources: interview and profile (Chicago Tribune). Chubbles (talk) 12:16, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
 * redirect to Hefty records assuming it survives its AfD. All coverage on Hughes concerns Hefty.Sandals1 (talk) 15:54, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
