Statik G

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Autobio or WP:COI article on up-and-coming young musician, seems to have made a great start to his music career, but WP:TOOSOON yet for an article. No significant coverage online from WP: Reliable sources, just music blog reviews and passing mentions of performances. News coverage seems to be all local indy press and local music blogs, with no indication of editorial policy. Doesn't yet meet WP:MUSICBIO, though it's pretty clear that he'll get there eventually.

 * He deserves a chance to be seen and heard. I'm a huge fan, he's the number 1 rapper on reverb charts for hip hop and #8 in the globe I thought now would be the best time to let him shine and help someone notice him before he gives up. Give him a year he's touring with lil Wyte soon and working with major underground artists on his next album.. If you delete it now there's no point because he will fit the credentials by the time you do!! Or message me and let me know what sources are considered credible I will hit them up myself and do what I have to do to get him noticed!! He's too talented and everyone tried to keep him from being heard.. A wiki would show he is considered serious.

 * I'm sure he does deserve a chance to be seen and heard, but Wikipedia is for documenting things and people that are already notable, not to help them become notable. For examples of what kind of references Wikipedia article have about notable musicians, please see WP:MUSICBIO. If you need any help with the references, you're welcome to ask at my talk page.

 * Delete This seems to be a bit WP:TOOSOON. At the moment there are not enough coverage in reliable sources to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. No objection to a recreation should more sources be found in the future. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 08:37, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete the few independent sources seem very local. Hobit (talk) 04:35, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as trivial and unconvincing sources for the same trivial and unconvincing information along with a trivial and unconvincing career, they all say the same thing and therefore delete. SwisterTwister   talk  08:43, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, the delete comments mention that the sources are local and trivial, but they do meet the WP:MUSICBIO requirements of multiple, non-trivial (see denver.com), published works, and they don't meet any of the exceptions. Obviously this artist isn't a pop hit but based upon the coverage I'd say he meets notability requirements. Icebob99 (talk) 20:04, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I really only see the one WP::RS, the Denver Post web article Icebob99 mentions. The "multiple" part seems to be lacking.  Otherwise, I don't see that any of WP:BAND's criteria apply.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 07:39, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm Statik G. I don't know how to do this stuff so i'm sorry if I'm not doing it right.. anyway I was googling myself and saw this come up, meaning I had a Wiki posted up recently? Is there any way for me to see what sources were used and what was said? I wish I would have read the debate or noticed this before it got deleted. I normally wouldn't even notice or get involved a debate about me, but I noticed 'local and trivial' - I do get decent coverage in the CO/WY area but to be fair, my career has been based on national tours the last 3 years and if you google 'Statik G' there are multiple reputable websites and publishers similar to Denver Post from around the nation that mentioned or wrote articles on me including ones in MO/AZ/TX/OK/NM and more. I know I'm no Bieber or Michael Jackson yet; I'm not sure what level of success is considered non-trivial to you, but I do get paid decently to travel the nation and play music (i've played in almost every state in America) and we sell merch from US to Russia to Austrailia to Japan. Plus I noticed some other artists that are around my level have a Wiki made about them as well so I guess I'm just confused about the process.

I am however wondering if the deleting parties did any research for information that was reputable before requesting the deletion or if they simply looked at what fans posted on the page and considered it unworthy. I know some articles about me re-hash my story, And I do agree I haven't gotten major press but that's because I've done everything completely independently on my own dollar/talent and won't pay for press or plays and rarely pay for advertisement. The beer named after me gets plenty of reputable coverage letalone the coverage from the national tours. I understand you have a strict policy though and I won't argue that, and yes, though I've been an artist for 10 years I am just now starting to garner worth-while attention that is required for a Wiki but i know I'll earn my place regardless if you feel i haven't yet.
