Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/TryBishop

Doesn't meet the notability guidelines for inclusion. Most of the footnoted sources don't even mention him, and the others are just lyrics and data listings, and a couple of bare mentions. A Google search turns up nothing to meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Largoplazo (talk) 01:45, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, qualifies for WP:GNG. His name appears in Vernia (album) and Auburn (singer) and T-Pain discography, and most of the featured artists in those three articles have their own articles too. Might as well delete dozens of those other articles for failing notability, but apparently they do not. Insularism (talk) 01:52, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If they fail the guidelines, then they fail the guidelines, and those articles should be deleted too. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. It seems unlikely that one's name appearing on an album that isn't one's own album is on its own going to establish notability. Largoplazo (talk) 02:00, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am a hip hop fan who writes articles only about the artists and producers whom I feel are notable, so I am not being reckless. TryBishop's peers who are clearly on the same level of notability as him have their own Wikipedia articles too.
Are you saying we should nominate everything else for deletion then? By your criteria, half of all hip hop artists and producers on Wikipedia fail this policy, which is inherently unclear. Should I help you nominate everything else for deletion then? Let's take WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:GNG seriously and see half of all Wikipedia hip-hop articles get deleted. I'm ready to help you out on this one. Insularism (talk) 02:05, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
