I am unable to find significant discussion of this individual in multiple reliable sources. The citations given only mention him briefly in the context of some other company or event. Google search for his name brings up 189 unique results, and none of those meet the threshold for notability either. ... discospinster talk 19:04, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi Discospinster,
You have suggested the removal of the following page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Archie based on difficulty in finding references using a Google Search. I would like to show several news sources referencing Ray Archie.
I think the challenge also is that Google isn't picking up references such as this Billboard Magazine article from June 15, 1996 (page 20): https://books.google.com/books?id=qwkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=RA1-PA82&lpg=RA1-PA82&dq=%22Billboard+Magazine%22+June+15,+1996&source=bl&ots=AI13rkvXlp&sig=gzEhlucQlsCKt7HNPOt7B3oe9So&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjmwsKg4vzdAhWwct8KHUU8CvAQ6AEwDnoECAEQAQ#v=onepage&q=%22Billboard%20Magazine%22%20June%2015%2C%201996%20Wild%20Style&f=false
Archie and his band "Down Low Connection" also have a Billboard Article from Jan. 20, 1998 which also is not being picked up by Google:
https://books.google.com/books?id=nA0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=RA1-PA53&lpg=RA1-PA53&dq=billboard+magazine+%22down+low+connection%22&source=bl&ots=SuX6dIR7O8&sig=1Nyxsp_1W1_V150gGD4jtjEaKsU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjsu-S84fzdAhUqm-AKHQs7BaoQ6AEwAXoECAcQAQ#v=onepage&q=billboard%20magazine%20%22down%20low%20connection%22&f=false
One can argue that a band and musician who has been written up twice in Billboard deserves a Wiki article --- especially when you look at Archie's quote from the first article which references how he and the band worked to overcome key obstacles related to live hip-hop music in Boston music venues.
Other references related to tech and streaming which are strong 3rd party references to consider: — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gigcity (talk • contribs) 21:10, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

I would agree that *some parts of this entry should be moved to specific company pages. Would you recommend that an interim solution be creation of those various entries? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gigcity (talk • contribs) 20:19, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
