[edit] DJ Andre Michael

DJ Andre Michael (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Appears insufficiently notable, AFDing for more eyeballs. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 05:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, non-notable person. Google test only gives 6 hits to "DJ Andre Michael" and "Andre Michael" yields nothing related to this person. Axem Titanium 05:57, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: unverifiable. Maybe once he's up-and-come he can have an article, but if sources for his birth name and date aren't even around, he's a down-and-going as far as WP is concerned. - Che Nuevara 07:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

1. CheNuevara: Your response and its attempt at "humor" is not objective. Also privacy of individuals birth date is a Wiki standard:

2. Morven: Google is not the authority for notariaty. The list of venues played and the fact that now 2 major recording albums have been released should meet the criteria here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28music%29

3. Andre Michael has also headlined with with DJ's such as Juliuss Papp

4. Andre Michael has spun internationally

Supersean: Whether or not you think my "attempt at 'humor'" is actually funny has no bearing on whether it's objective. Humor is in the eye of the beholder, but objectivity speaks for itself; please tell me how my comment failed to be an objective judgment.

Additionally, I'm willing to concede that a large number of Wikipedians support the exclusion of some people's birthdays, but to exclude someone's real name is just ridiculous. If there is a source for his real name, it should be in that article; as of now, the blatant falsehood of "Birth Name: Dre Dawg" is pretty damning evidence to the worth of the article. If there isn't a source, then this person clearly lacks verifiability.

This article completely lacks verifiability. The only link on the profile is a MySpace link. I could decide to name my basement "The Azure Ape Speakeasy", name myself the resident DJ, and make a MySpace for it. The above Google search by Axem Titanium serves to show that independent sources to verify the information about this person are nowhere to be found. Notability is a guideline on Wikipedia; verifiability is a policy.

These are the objective circumstances of this discussion. - Che Nuevara 18:38, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
