 * I have been asked to explain my reasoning for the deletion. Firstly, the following from MUSIC is relevant 'no criterion listed in this page confers an exemption from having to reliably source the article just because passage of the criterion has been claimed.  Essentially the delete argument boiled down to not being properly sourced to meet the GNG and not meeting MUSIC. The keep side fell to arguments that they passed MUSIC or there were Google books sources (by  but they failed to cite the sources or add them to the article. They then challenged the delete side to provide links to the sourcesso they could be evaluated (ironic since they said they had found them) but did not respond when the policy compliant argument was made that the ONUS was on them to produce the source. I have therefore given negligible weight to this argument.argued that the subject met MUSIC through two record releases and some coverage. This was an early comment and policy based but did not gain traction with a later contributor to the debate who disagreed with the level of the coverage and argued that MUSIC wasn't met. This had been relisted and the weight of the arguments were with the delete side (3 reasonable policy based delete argument, 1 reasonable keep argument that did not gain traction and a 1 poorly argued keep vote that was given little weight), although I wouldn't disagree that the delete side wasn't the best argued and some decent citations would be sufficient for me to overturn the delete and relist this.

 * And Voila [the sources have been provided]. This could have been avoided by the sources being provided in the discussion as requested. Deletion reversed. Spartaz Humbug! 09:06, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: no reliable evidence of notability. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 21:13, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong keep very influential songwriter and producer. Pioneer of Italian disco pop. Plenty of sources on Google Books from Billboard notations of his work to histories discussing his work and influence. FloridaArmy (talk) 02:45, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Two albums on RCA satisfies WP:NMUSIC, and the coverage available demonstrates notability, e.g. in the book Saturday Night Forever: The Story of Disco ("Jacques Fred Petrus and Mauro Malavasi were the second powerhouses of Italian disco pop."). --Michig (talk) 10:43, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment. To those voting keep, why doesn't the article reflect that information or have the sources with that content? Please provide links to the sources here or by adding them to the article so we can all evaluate the information. 4meter4 (talk) 02:53, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * You haven't added it yet? FloridaArmy (talk) 03:38, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * You are the one with the supposed sources. Either produce them here or in the article or as far as I am concerned they don't exist and my vote remains delete.4meter4 (talk) 03:48, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Why aren't you able to add them? FloridaArmy (talk) 04:15, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Why aren't you? It isn't my responsibility to add sources supposedly found by another editor. Even if I wanted to, no urls or other identifying information (publisher, year, author, page number, etc) were provided here for me to add them. If you found a source, copy paste the url here or provide the published material for everyone's benefit. If it's an offline source I can't see then I am definitely not going to add it. It's the responsibility of the editor who found the source to update the article. I don't mind pitching in if someone bothers to post the url links.4meter4 (talk) 05:25, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
