ChopSquad DJ

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. Unable to locate any significant secondary sources to expand his biography and support notability. No awards or charted songs, and of the 14 sources cited in the article, "ChopSquad" is mentioned on just 7 of them--usually it's just his name. The sources are:

[1] - Trivial mention.
[2] - Mentions his name.
[3] - No biographic information. This source only supports that ChopSquad DJ produced the song "We Be On It" by Lil Bibby.
[4] - Mentions his name.
[5] - Mentions his name.

"kollegekidd.com" discusses him in two of the articles, ([6][7]), but this appears to be a user-submitted blog (though this may not be correct).

Even The Guardian mentions him in an article here, but just his name.

Keep it is understandable that music producers don't get the "credit" they deserve from media outlets. The subject produced the majority of Bang 3 which charted on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums thus clearly passing #1 of WP:COMPOSER and #2 of WP:MUSICBIO#Others. Nominator should note that aside the reliable sources, kollegekidd.com has editorial oversight and has been used multiple times on Wikipedia. PabloTheMenace (talk) 21:51, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete the purpose of Wikipedia is not to right wrongs, and if reliable sources do not give the subject "the credit they deserve" than Wikipedia cannot try to reactify such claimed problems without sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 08:02, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: the subject didn't "produce the majority of Bang 3"... he wrote and produced just five of the 26 tracks on the album, and none of those tracks are individually notable, so it's hard to see how he passes WP:COMPOSER or WP:MUSICBIO. Just because kollegekidd.com has been used in other articles doesn't mean it's a reliable source – it doesn't say anything about the editorial team on the website so it's hard to verify the claim that it has editorial oversight.
