[edit] DZK

non-notable re WP:BAND Bennie Noakes 01:17, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Also, vanity. It looks like most of the edits are from DZK himself. Bennie Noakes 01:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep Actually looks like there is some claim to notability and appears popular. WP:MUSIC does not always have to be the ultimate truth, but could fall through the following clause[1]. This article does need cleanup and is guilty of WP:AUTO. Yanksox 01:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC) What is occuring with this comment? I'm not sure... Yanksox 11:43, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
  • What clause? That Google search just shows that there are few hits relating to this guy, and a lot of the sites mentioning him are WP mirrors, MySpace, YTMND, and the like. -- Kicking222 02:42, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
    • I'm not refering to any clause, I'm just trying to use logic and rationale check out some of the sites. There appears to be some kind of underlying notability. It's obviously not world class level, but I weakly believe this should be a keep. Yanksox 02:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless can prove notability per WP:BAND via a reliable source. Crum375 01:33, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Is there notability? Some. Is the article vanity? Yes. Are there reliable sources? No. Does he pass WP:MUSIC? No. -- Kicking222 02:40, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep Need to verify chart success, if this can be done keep per WP:MUSIC -- Librarianofages 02:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:MUSIC. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 03:17, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete fails WP:MUSIC. --IslaySolomon 03:19, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete per Kicking222. --Shizane 04:00, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• I vote delete and the site is about me, so go for it. I hereby sanction your censoring.---DZK ( http://www.soundclick.com/dzk ) 10:06, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Stipulating the above is accurate, I wouldn't consider writing the bumper music for a local sports show as meeting WP:MUSIC in any degree, and to be honest, those screenshots are eminently Photoshoppable. RGTraynor 09:14, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

-- Yeah but it also falls under, "Has performed music for a work of media that is notable."

• Delete:Non-notable. No biography or discography listed on All Music Guide. --  Netsnipe  ^(Talk)  09:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Userfy. The artist himself said that it was a page about him. Mystache 15:49, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable musician. JChap 19:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom and as per -DZK above - Alias Flood 23:24, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I agree with the above users who feel that the article fails WP:MUSIC hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 13:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: No mention of touring, music appears to have only been distributed for free on a website, not actually released. Denaar 23:31, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep If you look at various hip-hop message boards, you will see that there is a huge buzz surrounding DZK as a battle rapper and I have also recently heard that he is close to signing on with a major label (rumored to be Koch Records). He has also appeared in an issue of Murder Dog magazine and is made mention of on numerous hip-hop websites, as well as being noted as an inspiration to many aspiring rap artists. A DZK-produced beat is also featured in a Volkswagen add for the GX3, and he has also become the most prominent representative of the hip-hop scene in Northern Virginia.cdub1120 13:09, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
