Kaleb Nation

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unverifiable article on a non-notable musician. The 17 unique ghits, after removing blogs, shows nothing. The sources given are mostly from the subject's website and don't particularly count. MER-C 04:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep: For now. The nomination was a mere 5 hours after creation.  Well written article that does need some work, particularly with sourcing, however, I think notability has been established, so lets give it some time to add some verifiability.  - Rjd0060 05:20, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, clearly. No prejudice against recreation if he becomes notable, but there are no independent sources showing that anyone else has written about him in non-trivial ways, and the citations don't verify the text - they are mere links to websites' homepages not mentioning him. Obviously non-notable when you take a look at the references.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 07:27, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: This article refers to multiple sources, though might need some future cleanup. This host is also a well-known figure in about 20 states and also internationally, partially by his alias Kaleb Krew. - unsigned edit by (the article's creator). 20:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If he is that well known, why don't any of the people who know him write about him? -- Jreferee    t / c  14:57, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - no reliable independent sources. The majority of the Google hits for Kaleb Nation are blog guestbook entries. Kaleb Krew appears syndicated on many web radio sites, but the test for notability is not mere occurrence, but reliably published third-party sources about someone. -- Gordonofcartoon (talk) 20:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable. I live in Kaleb Nation's hometown and have never heard of him; also, the local alt weekly has no mention of him, even under "Kaleb Krew".  Weak Google hits, no independent sources, etc.  I want to point out that Muskara, above, created the article and I suspect, though can't verify, has a conflict of interest.

 * Delete - I did a search and could not find even one reliable independent source containing even one mention of his name. I also searched for information on Kaleb Krew and did not find even one reliable independent source. Google books doesn't bring up anything. Google scholar doesn't bring up anything.--  Jreferee    t / c  14:55, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
