There is no consensus to remove the hoax box. Look at the AfD discussion - the truthfulness of this article isal; definitely in question. BradV 22:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Those just show that Zachary Jaydon was credited as a producer and/or a manager by at least one band. Where's the "singer/songwriter" source? Where's the "30 million albums" source? BradV 22:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

If you take a look at the images in their entirety, you will see him credited as a songwriter/producer and vocalist ON the album credits scan that is provided there. It was a World-Wide release and definitely qualifies him for an article as per WP:N#MUSIC alone. On the Issue 9 scan (Page 2) from Substream Music Press, it says, and I am quoting:

"...he has been in the music industry since he was a child, and his work is featured on over 30 million records." There are a LARGE number of sources in the Zachary Jaydon article that if looked at, add up to that number as well. "Key To My Heart," featured on Craig David's World-Wide release, "Born To Do It" has sold over 8 million albums alone. Skyler Morgan (talk) 22:36, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

The problem with the 30 million figure in the Issue 9 scan is that it's from a direct quote from a band member. I'm not sure the writer has done any verification of it. —C.Fred (talk) 00:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Going through the references list -- if it's reliable, it doesn't mention Jaydon, and if it mentions Jaydon, it's not a reliable source (i.e., it's self-published or user-edited). At this point, in my opinion, even scans of the supposed articles from "Disney Channel Magazine" would have to be double-checked and verified. I've got copies of a couple of those issues coming in a couple of weeks if needed. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 00:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
