[edit] DJ Wonder

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

Contested prod, already speedied once. Puff piece about non-notable DJ, no non-trivial independent reliable sources, fails WP:MUSIC and WP:V. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 16:07, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

This article contains a notable DJ, with several CREDIBLE SOURCES - Vibe Magazine, Delaware News Journal.

Wiki Music Notibility Requirements:

- Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network. - Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network.

He has his own NATIONAL radio show - "The Wonder Years" Has Been In rotation on Sirius with: "Money Mayweather" - DJ Wonder "Just A Little Bit (DJ Wonder Remix)" - 50 Cent

There are no clear indicators in the text that this is written in AUTO-BIOGRAPHY form.

Please see Cipha Sounds Wiki Page for reference as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.196.192.7 (talk)

• Comment The article is a puff-piece, and your IP is registered to the radio company he works for. There's ample clear indicators in the text it's a hagiograpghy, if not an autobiography, in particular the third and fifth paragraphs. The Vibe article is not a non-trivial source, there's very little that can be used to write an article from. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 16:55, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Any trace of "hagiograpghy" has been deleted from this article. There is no partial wording or tone. DJ Wonder does work at Sirius Radio. The Vibe article reflects his notability, as most Hip-Hop DJ's in Wiki have been featured on Vibe.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.196.192.7 (talk) 18:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:MUSIC, which covers DJs. I admit I had a chuckle at the first sentence, in which he pointed out that he's a "fan of good music". Which is way better than the other kind. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment DJ Wonder is not covered by the previously stated Notability Requirements? The "fan of good music" line has been removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.196.192.7 (talk) 22:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. No references citing anything but promotional material. No outside reviews. Seems there is a WP:COI issue here also. Gtstricky (talk) 23:28, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Where are the "outside reviews" for DJ_Abilities, J-Rocc, DJ_D, DJ_Lord - all of which have no credible sources, yet at most have been flagged to have "no credible sources." What makes this article subject for deletion? What can be done to save this page? Where is the conflict of interest, and where is there any bias in the print? What is the definition of PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL? All references are valid and not promoting a service. AND the SIRIUS LINKS VALIDATE the WP:MUSIC question. Please provide me with any info. Thanks.

* Please read WP:AB. Comments like "attained a national following in less than a year" and "featured on" seem to be self promoting and violate WP:NPOV that is why writing an article on yourself is considered a WP:COI Gtstricky (talk) 17:39, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment All questionable WP:NPOV language has been removed.

• Comment New references regarding Notability have been added including MTV NEWS, SOHH.COM and AZZURE DENIM AD CAMPAIGN. Also a list of mixtapes have been added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Esticks (talk • contribs) 04:16, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep I am the author, and I have addressed each issuse brought up in this discussion. The article meets notability requirements. Also - from Wiki's Deletion article - "The argument "non-neutral point of view" (violates WP:NPOV) is often used, but often such articles can be salvaged, so this is not a very strong reason for deletion either."Esticks (talk) 20:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
