Subject lacks independent coverage in reliable sources Meatsgains^(talk) 23:03, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Meatsgains, I've noticed that you marked my page for deletion. Why is that? I've provided links and additional references to state where I sourced my information from. ISM is a credible producer who is signed to the major music publishing company, APG. How can we resolve this issue? I've worked hard on the page and would be saddened to see it deleted from the encyclopedia. Once again, ISM is a music producer who has produced for some of the most credible artists in the music industry including Chris Brown, Ty Dolla Sign, Jason Derulo, etc.Please check out the following websites that highlight his production work:http://artistpg.com/producer/ism/https://genius.com/artists/Ism

Most of the references you've included on the page do not detail the subject and he seems to lack notability. Meatsgains^(talk) 00:58, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: AmalNoor, you need to provide independent, reliable sources that comply with WP:RS - ones that actually describe ISM and his work in some detail and point to his involvement in notable projects. The Headline Planet and Billboard sources do not mention ISM at all, so we cannot verify his involvement in these records, even though the songs themselves are notable. The JukeboxDC and Datpiff sites only show he produced these non-notable records by non-notable artists, and say nothing about ISM or why he is notable. The first source is presumably the publishing company that ISM is signed to, so it's not independent or impartial. And the Genius site you linked to is for a completely different musical artist.

Delete Non-notable producer who fails WP:NARTIST and WP:NMUSIC. I will note that article subjects do not inherit notability (WP:NOTINHERITED) from other, more notable subjects, so the subject's projects are not a testament to his notability. In the same vein, if WP:RS covering projects the subject was involved with do not deem him worthy of mentioning, then an encyclopedia should not reflect his significance either. This is the issue with the coverage surrounding the subject, and trivial mentions wont cut it either.--SamHolt6 (talk) 00:19, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
