Soundman

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable musician who improbably claims to have invented Ragga, Hip Hop, Dub Step and Hardcore plus some audio software and a computer language, all totally unreferenced of course. Only 17 Google hits - no of them from reliable sources. Fails WP:MUSIC. Astronaut (talk) 18:54, 7 July 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - no indication of notability provided, and someone with that kind of reputation would certainly turn up more than 17 hits. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:45, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Loads of unsourced BS. Hairhorn (talk) 21:36, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Clean or Stub. While Antonio Straughn has a impressive discography with tracks on both indy labels and music giants such as Polygram, Columbia and Telstar (thus meeting the requirements for notability), and indeed seems to be a pioneer of jungle and drum'n'bass -music since 1991, this article is trash, with unrealistic claims. May be a form of WP:Attack. You can find (some) his discography here []. Not sure what to do with it, as documenting the events of underground dance music on Wikipedia is a road fraught with perils - very poorly documented, online or otherwise.

 * Cleaned it. Good luck digging up references to this guy, although I am sure there are dozens, his artist name makes it difficult. Maybe this deletion could be re-considered now that trash has been cleaned up. Who knows, I might even add to the article tomorrow. Casimirpo (talk) 00:00, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment: For this to be kept, it needs reliable sources. Otherwise, it's a BLP violation.  Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 06:02, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
