Rashid Ajami

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No verifiable claims of importance. This article was a copy-paste move from a declined draft located at Draft:Rashid Ajami. CSD tag continuously removed, brining to AfD.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   00:47, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * The article has enough sources from media to be notable. The release discography shows releases on top record labels in this music genre. The artist collaborations are with artists notable enough to be on Wikipedia. The article should not be deleted in my view.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.255.232.50 (talk) 10:05, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I have edited this article and since its initial request for deletion numerous sources have been added that are more then notable. Notice that the discography is fully cited. There are sufficient references for this article to be in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidhollinge (talk • contribs) 10:33, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Looks likely that sockpuppetry was used to remove the speedy tag. Notability per WP:MUSICBIO is borderline, and many of the references are about Campus Society (now also the subject of an AFD) and not Ajami. NeemNarduni2 (talk) 08:27, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I have added further links from press outlets such as Mixmag, vice magazine, thump and deep house Amsterdam. These are the biggest outlets in terms of house music. The article has come a long way since its initial draft that Anarchyte mentions above. There are references on every point and a long list of news pieces in external links.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidhollinge (talk • contribs) 08:48, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete at best for now as the current article is not better satisfying the applicable notability. SwisterTwister   talk  23:55, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Campus Society; he is not separately notable. If the Campus Society article is kept, a redirect is appropriate; if the Campus Society article gets deleted, the redirect will too. --MelanieN (talk) 02:38, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I am also willing for a redirect especially if both articles are later deleted. SwisterTwister   talk  05:36, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
