The result was Keep. Strong assertions of notability abound, and there's now many reliable sources to support those claims. No need to keep this up. — Scientizzle 22:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DJ Pooh

DJ Pooh (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested PROD after deletion. The PROD reason was Article about a person, group, company, or web content that does not assert the importance of the subject. I've got no solid opinion right now, but do note that the article cites no sources. WODUP 21:44, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom.--Tasc0 03:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. There are plenty of strong assertions of notability even within the small size of the existing article. Lack of sources is a good reason for a "more sources" tag, a bad reason for deletion. tomasz. 09:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Mos Def keep, DJ Pooh is a legendary producer, come on now, The Predator, All Eyez on Me, Tha Doggfather and Bigger & Deffer? Those are four of the greatest rap albums ever thanks to Pooh.SameAsItEverWas 19:07, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Really pretty, but that's not cited in the article.--Tasc0 21:47, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

So add an "unreferenced template". I have proven he is notable. Some user wanted to delete the Ja Rule page because it had no references, but he is clearly a notable musician, and so is DJ Pooh. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 21:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

He also produced "Groupie Luv", a song by 213 from their album The Hard Way, which peaked at number 48 on the U.S. R&B chart, and number 24 on the U.S. Rap chart. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 21:56, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

• check it out – four references have appeared from nowhere in the article. does this mean we can stop the semantic quibbling over an obviously notable musician and filmmaker and speedy keep this now? tomasz. 22:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • He also directed, produced, wrote, and starred in The Wash. He even contributed to the film's official soundtrack. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 22:04, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

  • I'm not done yet. He also directed and wrote 3 Strikes. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 22:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
