Ryghteous Ryan Tedder

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a record producer, referenced solely to a single glancing namecheck of his existence in an article about somebody else. While there are claims here that would probably qualify him for an article if it were properly sourced, an article can claim nothing about its subject that would entitle him to an automatic inclusion freebie, exempted from having to be sourced, just because he exists. But I can't find anything like the required depth of sourcing on a Google News search -- even with "Ryghteous" as a search filter to steer Google away from the OneRepublic guy that the article tells us not to confuse this one with, all Google does is tell me there are no hits, "correct" the spelling of "ryghteous" to "righteous" and unquote the search term, and then send me bouncing right back to the OneRepublic guy. Although the one stray hit for Paul Ryan was cute. Bearcat (talk) 17:53, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment More coverage here: http://www.thisisrnb.com/2017/02/new-music-h-e-r-your-way/ He co-produced a Jennifer Lopez song, according to Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_Girl_(Jennifer_Lopez_song)  What I'm finding (and the original article) suggest the possibility of notability, but I'm not finding enough to say keep or not finding anything which would say delete. I only post these links in case anyone wants to build on them. Ross-c (talk) 18:58, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thisisrnb.com is a blog, not a reliable source — and the post is a blurb, not a substantive article, and it just namechecks his existence a single time, rather than being about him. And as for Jennifer Lopez, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED — so he doesn't get an automatic inclusion freebie just for working with a famous singer, if he isn't the subject of enough reliable source coverage about him to carry an article.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   13:26, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not qualify under WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. Mos of the sources are little more than one-line album credits, which are not substantive enough for independent notability. The article and the argument to keep advanced on the talk page are attempts to claim WP:INHERITED notability from working with notable artists.
