JellyRoll

Article is about a musician doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO standard. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 01:21, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion - The page JellyRoll DOES meet the WP:MUSICBIO standard. The artist has had 3 albums appear on several nationwide charts. In the article WP:MUSICBIO number 2 says "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." Clearly it does not need to be deleted. Maybe the wording of the article, or the format is not correct, but that does not mean it should be deleted. Kcwalker93
Comment - I'm not ready to call this one way or the other just yet. The difficulty is that we already have an article for JellyRoll (producer), a rap music producer. Looking for sources becomes difficult, then, and even Google's "auto profile" results include images of both JellyRolls and confuse the two. The reality is that quite a few of his albums seem notable enough to have been included. Now that's not an indication of much at all but I'd be inclined to delete the album articles first (from which he can draw notability) rather than the BLP (given the albums can't inherit notability from him). There is coverage out there - like this - it's probably a question of whether any of it is reliable. Stalwart111 02:27, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Thanks you for reviewing this article. The reason I decided to make the article is because he is one of my favorite rappers and i can relate to a lot of his lyrics. I do understand that alone does not mean it should have its own article, but he has 2 albums with the rapper Haystak, which have both been on the billboard charts, one with the rapper Lil Wyte which has also been on the billboard charts, and finally one Year Round, as a group with Lil Wyte and BPZ which was on the billboard charts and was released by a major label, Hypnotize Minds. I am aware that there is another JellyRoll who is a west coast producer, i have actually listened to his music he has done with Snoop Dogg and Xzibit. Maybe putting the word "Rapper" next to his name, the same way the other has the word "producer" next to his name. Also he has had coverage about him using waffle house on his mixtape. Not only on the internet but on tv as well. Thanks again and i hope we can keep his article up. Kcwalker93
Comment - If the article on Gawker does not seem reliable maybe this one does [1]. Kcwalker93
Keep — The subject meets WP:MUSICBIO. He has released an album that has charted on multiple Billboard charts [2] and has received significant coverage in reliable sources including; The Source, HipHopDX, Daily Mail, XXL, Gawker, HipHopWired, and The Hype.

Keep - I've spent some time cleaning the article up, removing (good faith) puffery and adding sources, including some of those provided by STATic. Having found a few more sources myself (including one from New York magazine) I'm now convinced the subject passes WP:GNG. Stalwart111 04:52, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
