Chad B[edit]

I declined this speedy because it seems to assert notability. It seems this performer may be close to breaking into notability but doesn't seem to be there quite yet. I leave to the community to determine. JodyB_talk 23:38, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - Very close to notability, but an extreme conflict of interest. If we can fix this, however, I would probably lean towards a very weak delete. TNP (formerly Jonathan) 00:09, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Conflict of interest is not a valid reason for deletion. One of the sources states "[Rihanna's] “Bitch Im Special” was written and produced by Multi-platinum producer Chad B..." Even if that cannot be confirmed. Producers who worked with that many well-known artists, clearly had an effect on the music scene, and are thus notable. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:58, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The source mentioned is a gossip blog reprinting a press release and therefore unreliable. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 22:31, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you provide evidence to prove that. If true, that would definitely convince me to change my !vote. - Mgm|^(talk) 00:29, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - The article's subtitle: "UPDATE: PRESS RELEASE: NEW RIHANNA LEAKED DEMO"; from the site's About page: "Miss Xpose a.k.a 'The Skirt with Dirt'... her gossip blog 'Miss Xpose’s Blog Spot'... has given Miss Xpose the opportunity to launch her own gossip website". I do believe that he could be notable, I just don't know that he is yet. I haven't checked all of his song credits to see if any of them have been hits. With all the self-promotion, I doubt it—it would have been front and center in the article. It would appear that the most notable thing he has done (or may have done, in the absence of reliable sources) is produced a Rihanna track that was leaked. Even with a source, that's still not very notable. I did find that Chad Beats and Chad Beatz have both been deleted numerous times in the past and are now salted. Someone really wants to be in Wikipedia. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 02:38, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Sheesh, I had no idea that the guy made several other articles about himself. Ugh.--CyberGhostface (talk) 15:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Delete. Subject lacks significant coverage in secondary sources, as per WP:BIO. 0 Gnews hits on full name, 6 unrelated hits on Firstname Lastname. Satisfies, so far as I can see, none of the criteria for WP:MUSICBIO either. RayAYang (talk) 06:12, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Someone added a link to ASCAP. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:50, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, that was me. Since I managed to verify at least one of his song credits (finding his real name in the process), I didn't drop a delete !vote. Since I'm not convinced he meets WP:MUSIC, I haven't !voted keep, either. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 12:59, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
