DJ JY (artist)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Cutting through the usual WP:MUSICBIO chaff (press releases, AllMusic, etc.), article only list two RS. The first, MTV, doesn't actually mention the subject of the article at all. The second, the Sydney Morning Herald, only mentions the subject to briefly lampoon his notability: "If it suits your campaign, though, not to mention your budget, a chap named DJ JY, apparently a 'web celeb UK rap artist', will retweet to his 44,000 followers for just 75¢." A BEFORE search on Google News finds only one mention: his recent performance at a wake. Chetsford (talk) 14:16, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - He passes WP:GNG without any concerns to me. --KnowledgeChuck (talk) 14:21, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is the latest of many attempts at recreating the salted article DJ JY. See also WP:Articles for deletion/DJ JY (Artist), WP:Articles for deletion/Johnathan Yesson, and WP:Articles for deletion/Johnathan Yesson (rapper). The Mighty Glen: in all of the above AFDs the articles were repeatedly recreated and salted. There's no indication here that anything of note has happened in his career since then, and I can find nothing new online about him. User:WikiDan61 has beat me to the db-g4. It also seems a little odd to me that it was created as a draft by a WP:SPA, and then moved to mainspace the following day by a second account less than a week old.

Speedy delete per CSD criteria G4 (recreation of article deleted at AfD) and G5 (new article by blocked/banned user). --Finngall ^talk 15:46, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete Per above. @The Mighty Glen:, @Chetsford: For the record: I did not know that previous AfD were in place and that it was salted. The author changed the name of the subject. --KnowledgeChuck (talk) 15:57, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
