DJX was originally created as a redirect to Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2011 but in 2016 the redirect was removed and an article was created for the rapper DJX which does not pass WP:GNG.[1] When this was originally created this seems to be WP:COI as the editor was DJXOmega. The article has been reverted back to the redirect 3 times in 2016. [2][3][4] Then was recreated again in February this year when it was reverted again. [5] The article was recently recreated again this month and I restored the original redirect [6] and was reverted by IP. [7]

I'm proposing either the redirect be reinstated and the page be protected to prevent the article being recreated without going through WP:AfC or delete the page entirely and WP:SALT it from being recreated. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 06:08, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reinstate redirect and semi-protect - Based on the page history, multiple people have tried to revert the stub away and every time a single-edit account or IP reverts it back. A Google for "DJX" returns millions of references to the stock index, while a search for "DJX rapper" returns only a few sparsely viewed Soundcloud pages and YouTube videos. Nothing even resembling reliable sources. Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 07:56, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Salt back to redirect to Dow Jones Industrial Average If our Soundcloud friend ever gets fame, DJX (rapper) and a hatnote on the DJIA page will take care of both issues very nicely. For now, this is a WP:RESUME WP:COI that has no sources and no WP:N with it, and they should stop trying to force their way here through page hijacking.

Salt back to redirect to Dow Jones Industrial Average. Non-notable rapper as of now... If notability is established in the future, DJX (rapper) is a valid page. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 01:24, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Dow Jones Industrial Average, then protect the redirect. Even if this rapper becomes notable, the DJIA would still most likely be the primary usage of this, and a hatnote to a DJX (rapper) article would suffice. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:28, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Dow Jones Industrial Average - Hi, I agree that the page should be put as DJX (Rapper) as notability for this artist after further research has shown that they are very much capable of having a wiki page (assuming credible sources are cited) I do not think the user realizes what they are doing by redirecting, (because the average American does not associate "DJX" with the Stock market immediately.) That being said I will create a page under DJX (Rapper) in order to post this entry and delete the old in order to stop any interference with the Dow Jones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.164.109.160 (talk) 22:17, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Part of the issue here, though, is that DJX the rapper doesn't come anywhere near to passing our notability guidelines. Beyond his own Soundcloud and YouTube accounts, I can't find any coverage of him from outside sources, which is required to have a Wikipedia article. While the DJX acronym for the Dow Jones Industrial Average arguably isn't well known by the average person, there's plenty of sources showing its common usage by people in the financial industry.
