Article about a producer who has produced 1 million songs (an unsourced statement of course). Gives 5 references but none are articles with non-trivial coverage about this guy, per WP:MUSIC... most are just track listings. We need better sources, otherwise the article should be deleted.

  • Delete I doubt that anyone could produce a million songs, that's probably an exaggeration or total BS. The lack of reliable sources is most telling, as is the lack of background in the infobox (hate it when people do that).

  • Delete per lack of verifiable reliable sourcing. ArcAngel (talk) (Review) 20:26, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. The claim to producing a million songs seems to be based on the idea that the subject created 62 samples, which were supposedly downloaded 1.5 million times, and most of those downloads were by other artists to use those samples in their songs. Thus, he supposedly contributed to a million songs. I can't find sources to support his claims, though. The subject may well be an up and coming music producer, but being up and coming is not necessarily enough to satisfy WP:MUSIC. For this article to be kept, the hype would need to be toned down and the sources would need to be boosted up. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
