Zukhits

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

This reads like a fansite / advert, is poorly referenced, and makes no credible claim of notability. I have chased down the references for convenience:

The references do little to provide context on the subject of the article:


 * "Hernan Santiago: Recording Engineer". No mention of Zukhits or Buchanan on page.
 * "The Lab: Ask Duro". No mention of Zukhits or Buchanan on page.
 * "Kingz Kounty available at Tower Records". Mentioned as one of 5 producers on the record.
 * Baker, Soren (2002-04-11). "VH1 Kingz Kounty Review". VH1.com. Mentioned briefly as "promising" in passing in a longer article.
 * Buschmann, Uwe (2003-05-07). "German Kingz Kounty Review". Plattenkritiken. Mentioned once in passing on a German language web page about the album Kingz Kounty.
 * Baker, Soren (2002-04-07). "Neil Young Tries on a New Hat". Mentioned in a one-paragraph blurb on Kingz Kounty in a series of notes after an article.
 * "Ian London Productions". No mention of Zukhits or Buchanan on page.
 * "Big Sound Music Documentary" (2008). Article subject is conducting an interview broadcast on YouTube, not the subject of one.
 * "Tony Dawsey - Discography" (2007-09-11). No mention of Zukhits or Buchanan on page.
 * "MasterDisk Studios". No mention of Zukhits or Buchanan on page.

The creator of the page has, since my original tagging of the page, made several edits to the page in the form of removing tags and tweaking the references, but has made no material changes to the content or actually improved or provided additional references.

 * Delete unless proper notability can be provided through WP:Notability (persons) as my own search for Zukhits brings up trivial hits. The article and current references seem to be stressing and taking advantage of notability by association... but Notibility is not inherited.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - having your name mentioned in passing in a few articles - however important the publication might be - is a far cry from being the subject of those articles.  I see no legitimate claim to Wikipedia notability.  JohnInDC (talk) 22:34, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, and television documentaries[2] except for the following: Media reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician/ensemble talks about themselves, and advertising for the musician/ensemble. Works comprising merely trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report performance dates or the publications of contact and booking details in directories. An article in a school or university newspaper (or similar) would generally be considered trivial but should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis." He satisfies the notability requirement because he has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works (LA Times, VH1, and the German article) whose source is independent from the musician itself and reliable. Therefore if I remove everything else the wikipedia guidelines should be satisified.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JPercy (talk • contribs) 22:29, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Proposal  How about I reduce the article to a stub and take out the trivial material. As I've said before he is a credible producer with production credits on two commercially released CDs (Kingz Kounty and Bro Kin Haylow). As per wikipedia guidelines:  A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:  "It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.[1]
