Yameen

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

lot of coatracking here to the point I can't really tell what if any claim of notability there is. It's an impressive resume considering the dearth of independent reliable sources featuring coverage of Yameen. Praxidicae (talk) 18:15, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Hello, I have update the citations to be from reliable sources. Thank you. Rumblepack (talk) 18:39, 15 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep I originally nominated for PROD but Rumblepack has found some sources which would indicate notability - thank you. However, lots of work to do to remove unsourced content and find additional sources to indicate notability. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 20:52, 15 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello, I added a few more surfaced sources. Everything looks to be cited? Rumblepack (talk) 23:17, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete – Coverage is just too minor to demonstrate notability. This coverage about his websites in a reliable magazine is something, but far from sufficient. His albums don't have any independant reviews, he's not mentioned in any recent sources. – Thjarkur (talk) 10:56, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
 * He's a related artist of the Hieroglyphics_(group) music group; I fail to see how he is not of notability, especially in regards to the history of that group referenced from the sources in the article). Additionally he continues to make popular music, there's a recent video with Kool Keith, for example . Rumblepack (talk) 17:23, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
 * He doesn't inherit notability from having worked with another group (he isn't even mentioned on that article). Secondary sources have not given attention to the song you linked to. – Thjarkur (talk) 19:49, 16 March 2020 (UTC)


 * He probably should be listed on that Hieroglyphics article. Here's a TechTV interview where the members of the group say the website saved their livelihood. And Yameen is in the video as well. . Regarding secondary sources and the song I linked to, that was just the latest example I found on his website . His body of work based on Discogs and his personal website are not at all currently reflected on his Wikipedia page. Which is to say he is very active but his Wikipedia page is not as current. In fact there's a new song with a member of Hieroglyphics on his website. Here's a review I found on Okayplayer, to reference another reliable source. Just because some of these sources are old doesn't mean he's not a notable addition, correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rumblepack (talk • contribs) 21:39, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
 * You are correct, notability is not temporary, but I was referring to how no sources seemed to exist about his music career. We now have two sources (and seemingly one offline source), a short mention in Vibe and a short review, but that is not sufficient to demonstrate notability in my view. Even the most minor of artists have coverage in multiple reliable (usually local) publications. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:19, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I have added a few more sources that I could find. It seems hard to separate Yameen the musician from Yameen the web developer. His entire career is based in music, essentially. His publicity trail does seem to fade after his first album but he remains very active musically from what I can tell. In the least, I think his history with Hieroglyphics is very notable. I have added additional references that illustrate this point. Rumblepack (talk) 17:21, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


 *  Keep or redirect with history - Keep, or redirect with history to Abdulla Yameen. --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:05, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete . The WP:RS coverage is largely not about Yameen as a musician in his own right, but just mentions him as a web developer connected to notable musicians. and  are exceptions to this; however, the former is an interview (which I do not consider a valid, independent source) and I do not believe the latter alone (in conjunction with the numerous trivial mentions among other sources) is enough to qualify for WP:SINGER or WP:GNG. userdude 06:14, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Switched to Weak keep per WP:Heymann and additional sources from Rumblepack. userdude 05:37, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Coverage is now sufficient to establish notability, thanks to 's improvements. Cheers, 1292simon (talk)

 * Delete. The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. His albums and songs have not been critically reviewed. Majority of the references cited in the article are unreliable and cannot be used to establish notability.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 16:25, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
