Justin Johnson (singer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No sign of meeting WP:NMUSIC. Article is sourced to weak sources, including some that do not mention the information supposedly being sourced. Gnews hits for "Justin Johnson" gospel are limited to article on taking fourth place in a talent show at age seventeen, and a few mentions which are not necessarily (in some cases, definitely not) this Justin Johnson and would not give any notability if they did (confirmation notice, etc.) Top ghits are self-published, databases, or not-that-Justin Johnston.

 * To be clear, I deleted a couple of references when deleting some copyvio (of the singer's site), but it included such things as this Google Books result for a book index that happened to contain the words "Justin", "Johnson", "gospel", and "singer" on the page, albeit with no reference to a Justin Johnson. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:07, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

I don't understand what they are saying weak sources when all other artists are using the same sources like IMDB, allmusic, myspace — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justinjohnsononline (talk • contribs) 15:11, 7 April 2013

 * While IMDb and allmusic are fine in establishing that someone exists and has some credits, neither established notability, which is a requirement for a musician to be the subject of a Wikipedia page. You should read up on our notability standards for musicians. Additionally, some statements of facts in the article are sourced to things that simply don't show those facts - for example, a claim that the artist recorded with a different artist is sourced to this page, which makes no claim that they recorded together, but merely shows that they once appeared in a picture together. Much of the information in the article has no source given... and one statement, about what the artist supposedly said on turning to vegetarianism, appears curiously to be lifted from sourced material in an article on a different musician. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:31, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. In fact, this could easily be speedily deleted under CSD A7. Apart from the lack of suitable sources, the article does not even make any serious claim of importance, the biggest claim to significance the article makes is "He has performed with many popular artists".
