He is a great musician, making strides in indie music, and it's important people know about him.

Wikipedia is not designed to make people aware about musicians, it is for article about people that are notable and whose notability can be verified by reliable sources. The current article does not indicate any notability, either generally or in the music field. GregJackP Boomer! 00:34, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... Ty segall is a rising popular act in the world of garage and punk --98.87.10.147 (talk) 02:15, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He still needs to be notable, and the article does not show that. GregJackP Boomer! 02:58, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ty Segall is an actual musician, I'm listening to him right now, and SOME amount of an entry is better than nothing. They play his music frequently on satellite radio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.249.165.159 (talk) 06:43, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have no doubt that he is an actual musician, however that does not entitle him to a Wikipedia entry. He has to be notable and as a musician he has to meet the requirements of WP:MUSICBIO. The article, as written, does not do that. GregJackP Boomer! 06:54, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Segall is one of the biggest names in today's indie scene

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... The article clearly shows how he is a prolific cult musician. It is also the most efficient way to find all of Ty Segall's musical projects, and I feel it would be wrong to delete this page. --92.41.38.205 (talk) 12:02, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Should NOT be deleted because...

I had never heard of the guy before. After reading a great review of hius last album om Pitchfork (http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16744-slaughterhouse/)I wanted to learn more, what better place to go than Wikipedia? He is obviously of enogh significance as to earn an article on W!
