Nomadic Wax

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable company that fails WP:CORP. Written like an advertisement by a WP:COI, probably someone associated with the company, so fails per WP:SPAM. Only two of the sources given--the NYT and the Nation--could qualify as WP:RS, but in both instances the mentions are trivial, so there actually are no WP:RS. Finally, the user with the WP:COI problem should probably be blocked for violating the WP:COI username policy. Qworty (talk) 23:04, 4 February 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * I'm on the fence at the moment on this one, but I would note that the only valid reason presented for deletion is notability. The other problems identified can be fixed by editing, which I had already done a bit of before this nom, and the username is actually in compliance with policy and not relevant to this conversation anyway.

 * I think I'm gonna go with weak delete. All I found by way of WP:RS that wasn't already in use was this Italian article that mentions them and nothing more. I say weak delete because its possible there are more African sources for this content since most of their artists are African, and Africa is under-represented on the web.

 * Weak keep - GNEWS archives seems to carry enough mentions of them in WP:RS (e.g. BBC, NYT, Boston Herald, AllAfrica.com), some of it behind paywalls, for this to just about scrape through on the grounds of news coverage. Borkificator (talk) 11:26, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - per this entry in Billboard (magazine) ("Dakar Dreaming - Nomadic Wax brings Senegalese Hip-hop to the US" and the 65 results found in a search of "Nomadic Wax' site:.edu (that is, US university sites, which they are frequently invited to)  - for example, they sponsored an internship at the the U. of Massachusetts  .
