promo with borderline N (WP:GNG / WP:MUSICIAN) - WP:BLP with unreliable sources. One of many promo article from WP:SPA sockfarm around Anjunadeep. Widefox ; talk 08:20, 26 November 2015 (UTC)


 * KEEP page as all sources are credible and statements are sourced properly. Should delete any association with Anjunadeep if that is a source of concern or remove unreliable sources and statements rather than delete the page. Meets requirements for WP: Music. 24.43.8.170 (talk) 21:59, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * There's two youtube refs - one is dead, the other fails verification. Those facts undermine "all sources" claim - can you reason what sources are WP:RS and support this BLP?! Your edit indicates you believe there is an association with Anjunadeep, but that's at odds with your statement above. Do you have any link (see WP:COI) with the subject or the other accounts that have (some are WP:SPA and/or limited to a few CA artists). Stating it meets WP:MUSIC without reasoning why isn't persuasive.  Widefox ; talk 23:31, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Both YouTube refs were edited - both updated to show proper verification. Billboard, Mixmag, and Vibe Magazine are all WP:RS. It meets WP:MUSIC criteria #1, he has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works. Chs89 (talk) 20:51, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * ...and to ask the obvious question - Chs89 you're an SPA with 11 edits under your belt? Have you edited with another account, and is that your (or someone you know's) IP above, and do you have a COI? Widefox ; talk 01:09, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Mixmag is a dead ref, Vibe Magazine isn't very deep, slightly trivial/promo one of 30 people so borderline MUSIC #1 "non-trivial". I gave up after those two. Looks WP:TOOSOON if the rest is similar?! The sourcing is weak, WP is WP:NOTPROMO, and you haven't replied about being asked if you have a COI . Widefox ; talk 01:26, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
 * mjsbigblog ref doesn't mention him. (really gave up this time). Widefox ; talk 01:39, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
 * No I don't have a COI, I want to contribute and this is an article I want to clean up. mjsbigblog ref does't reference Matt but it says Blake Lewis' song was in the commercial, and if you refer to the discography it clearly states Matt is a producer on it. Through deduction it's obvious that Matt produced the track on the commercial. Will restate that Billboard, Mixmag (new link), Thump the electronic music division of Vice magazine, are all reliable sources. Chs89 (talk) 00:27, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Chs89 Do you have a connection with User:Nemochuggles, User:24.43.8.170 (obvious COI), User:Machinevx (which edits The M Machine) ?
 * mjsbigblog doesn't help with notability, and notability is WP:NOTINHERITED from Blake Lewis. Widefox ; talk 18:23, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now and draft and userfy at best as the current article with both information and sources is not convincingly enough for general notability. SwisterTwister   talk  06:56, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep page as sources have been cleaned up and are credible. Chs89 (talk) 02:31, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Note to closer The IP !vote appears to be an undisclosed COI, and it looks like the account Chs89 although has denied a COI, instead of replying about a connection with the other SPAs/near SPAs proceeded to !vote, and appears associated, so if true, inappropriate as multiple sock/meat !votes. Suggest striking both as undisclosed COI / WP:NOTHERE, and suggest follow-up at WP:COIN and WP:SPI. Widefox ; talk 10:55, 4 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - searches did not turn up enough to show that they meet WP:GNG, and they don't pass WP:MUSICBIO.  Onel 5969  TT me 20:45, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
