Non-notable individual lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. Article contains unsupported claims. Appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC.  ttonyb (talk) 06:27, 15 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - he is lacking Google News hits because he was just recently signed in mid October. The main stream airing and Promotion hasn't even begun yet.


 * His Single "abortions" has saved lives, and changed the minds of thousands of teens on getting an abortion. that sir, is a notable individual. and with research and a contact with the artist, i can get references. his Manager failed to include that in his papers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessicagilmore (talk • contribs) 06:37, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment – Please indicate how these items meet the criteria in WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC.  ttonyb (talk) 06:41, 15 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - He meets the criteria because he is very popular in Florida and Wales and continues to spread throughout the world. Notable is the sense of being "famous", or "popular". Take a moment to view his Myspace music page. http://www.myspace.com/durdyboy352 he has over 34,000 fans and over 3.6 million plays. He is on radio rotation daily here in central Florida. Mention his name anywhere in Florida and see if you get a response. He is indeed popular, and due to the recent signing to warner bros. his popularity will soon sky-rocket.I am in-deadly sorry that i haven't included all the information in the article thus far. I Intended to get it started, and work on it tommorow because it is 1:57 am here and i need sleep to perform well at usc tommorow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessicagilmore (talk • contribs) 07:04, 15 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment – In order to be included in Wikipedia an article must meet Wikipedia based notability criteria. There is a difference between "real-world" notability and Wikipedia based notability.  Wikipedia based notably is defined in the articles WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC.  Popularity has no bearing on Wikipedia notability.  Again, please indicate how the article meets the criteria in WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC.  ttonyb  (talk) 07:12, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles.( he founded the band stereo skyline and is an active member of the band The Ready Set —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessicagilmore (talk • contribs) 07:22, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment – The Ready Set is not an ensemble. Hall is only a member of his backup band. It should be noted that his membership in the backup band was added to the article by you this evening after I pointed you to WP:MUSIC.   ttonyb  (talk) 07:49, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

This artist is of importance and has sold over 500,000 copies on iTunes alone. he is a huge part of central Floridian culture and has a huge fan base. he was just recently signed under warner bros. records and you can confirm that by the reference. He made a song With the Platinum artist Never Shout Never and im about to include that in the Wikipedia entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessicagilmore (talk • contribs) 07:26, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment – There is no evidence in the article of this. Again, please indicate how the article meets the criteria in WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC.

"significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded." he is dyslectic and epileptic. I find that interesting and unusual enough to deserve attention. He could be a figure in the near future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessicagilmore (talk • contribs) 08:06, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

well i am human and i have to sleep. I hope its not deleted when i wake up in the morning. and if there is any way of pausing it instead of deleted it, please help me out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessicagilmore (talk • contribs) 08:25, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete no significant coverage in reliable sources for this BLP subject. Most of the information in the article is not even verifiable, sourced to iTunes, Myspace, and his personal site.  Goodvac   ( talk ) 08:33, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Jessicagilmore. Yes, I know Jessica !voted Keep, but her arguments rather convincingly show the subject's lack of notability. Edward321 (talk) 14:48, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
