The result was delete, userfy per Jayvdb's suggestion to User:Stokesdean/Big Dave (Australian rapper). Orderinchaos 04:02, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Some claims to notability are present, but no direct citations provided for our perusal. "Big Dave" is a name used by many different people, and it's very difficult to distinguish which google results apply to which people. Overall, I see an unsigned musician claiming to have his own record company. Sounds like the sort of thing we delete. ··coelacan 07:57, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi guys, I see what your saying.:-) Added a few direct links for notability purposes which should fix the problem. Hope its up to standard, thanks guys. Dean.
- Delete the one thing in the article that looks like it might actually be a real reference (to news.com.au) goes to a "Page Not Found" error message. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nominator and Andrew Lenaham, not yet notable enough for our rather low standards of inclusion. Burntsauce 17:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Mattinbgn/ talk 20:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, I've tidied it up a bit and found the correct link for the print article, but Im not convinced of any notability. John Vandenberg 20:35, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like an up and coming artist, but not quite notable. Delete, with no prejudice to recreation when it happens. Good luck, Dave. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:11, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Move per John Vandenberg's statement, below. Good points made. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 18:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- comment Even if this article is kept I would suggest a rename to avoiud confusion with Big Dave. Artw 23:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Doesn't appear notable - although the business does appear to exist (that being said, so do nearly 800,000 others). Orderinchaos 04:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I guess the numbers say delete, as you would guess I am biased as Big Dave is from the same area of Canberra as me I like to support local talent that breaks on to the national scene. I am aware of two radio interviews and two filmed interviews taking place over the coming weeks perhaps if you could possibly archive it until that time and I can add the links for more notability. What do you think guys? Dean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stokesdean (talk • contribs) 06:06, 8 May 2007
- Move to User:Stokesdean/Big Dave (Australian rapper). Notability appears to be just around the corner, so I think it is reasonable to let Dean take this article and expand it as a sub-page of his user space (see WP:UP#SUB). John Vandenberg 07:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. One newspaper article as a source does not make you notable. Maybe later. Sorry. Assize 07:56, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
