Zale "Zalezy" Epstein

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not sure this artist meets notability requirements. The references are line listings with little substance. The artist purports to be Grammy and Juno nominated, but the artist was not nominated, he appears to have been involved on the periphery - a song he may have contributed to was part of an album that was nominated. In spite of what the article states, he has not charted with an single - again he appears to have been a minor contributor. red dogsix (talk) 22:56, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the Maven Boys. As suspected, the Grammy and Juno nominations are not direct ones – the "Grammy nomination" was for Schoolboy Q's album Oxymoron, but Zalezy only features as co-writer and co-producer for one song, "Yay Yay", which only appears as a bonus track on the iTunes version of the album. Likewise, the "Juno nominations" are as co-writer/co-producer (among many others) on individual tracks on the Down with Webster album – I can't find any evidence yet where he contributed to the P Reign and Tre Mission albums. But the real point is that even all these "nominations" were as part of the Maven Boys production group, so there is nothing to indicate any individual notability outside of that group.
