The result was delete. The "keep" opinions don't (convincingly) address the sourcing problem. Sandstein 12:19, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Giuseppe D.

Appears, at this time, to fail our general notability guidelines, but, I could be wrong. If you browse the references, they are all primary and don't provide much information about the subject himself. and general Google searches... it's extremely hard to find reliable secondary sources.

Keep Hi SarahStierch - thank you for the message regarding the nomination of the article on Giuseppe D. for deletion. In terms of the notability of the subject, he has released a number of albums and singles, some of which have attained gold or platinum certification. He has collaborated with artists such as Gloria Estefan, Michael Jackson and Elvis Crespo. In addition, Guiseppe D. runs a recording label that produces other artists. With this in mind I respectfully suggest the article remain as a Wikipedia article.Fbell74 (talk) 08:21, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, helping to replace the primary sources with reliable secondary sources would be necessary to keep this article, in my opinion! SarahStierch (talk) 08:30, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That might help. The subject is involved with a movie that's coming out next year, primarily as a Music Supervisor, so so I've added this to the end of the article.Fbell74 (talk) 03:16, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep on the basis that this page is reviewed and presented from a neutral point of view. It seems the notability is slightly poor, but this currently isn't an issue. --MrRatermat2 (talk) 13:57, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:MrRatermat2. I nominated it for discussion because of the lack of reliable secondary sources, not neutrality. An article could be totally not neutrally written but pass Wikipedia notability guidelines and be kept. Do you think he passes our general notability guidelines? Think about it from that stand point. Were you able to find multiple reliable secondary sources to support his notability? Thank you for participating. SarahStierch (talk) 16:53, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I personally like the article, and I'm not too bothered by the sources. If you have a problem with it, you can always remove any information that isn't reliable, and re-add it if you find a source. --MrRatermat2 (talk) 16:58, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was unable to find multiple reliable secondary sources to back up the claims on his page. Hence why I'm nominating it for deletion. SarahStierch (talk) 08:30, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I also looked for secondary sources, and found very few. The issue here is notability, and his notability can't be established through multiple reliable secondary sources. JSFarman (talk) 17:57, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete I cannot find any sources to support notability. The closest is http://www.allmusic.com/artist/giuseppe-di-caccamo-jr-mn0002693638 that shows he had writing credits on two songs. Nothing else. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:12, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Promotional. Appears to be a lot of inflated claims here. (Here's a list of platinum albums that he was tangentially connected to in some unspecified way!) Lots of citations of lists and charts but no secondary sources purely about the subject of the article. Gamaliel (talk) 19:50, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
