No evidence that singer is notable. Singer has not yet released an album. Article claims singer has won awards, but my best guess (since uplaya, the host site, seems to be down) is that these are not notable awards (seem to verify a certain number of downloads). The article has only one other "reference", which is a dead link. A search of Google news produces no hits. Given everything, this looks like an artist who is not yet notable, although he may be some day. Until that time comes, the article should be deleted.

DO NOT DELETE

This artist has won awards, the links are very much active from Uplaya. Also ICN is very reputable in blogs and local media outlets and represents Trey Diggz. Our references abide by the standards set for a reputable page. Also, this guys working with KANYE WEST's producers, how is he not worth a page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Docdasuess (talk • contribs) 14:27, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Its funny, I know him through mainstream media, the article BADLY needs a re-write because it reads like an ad, but he is notable, working with other people in the hip-hop community does not mean he isn't notable. --Cleave and Smite, Delete and Tear! (talk) 15:14, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This page isnt real. Has no album yet. awards are not real and actually just a novelty service for independent artist. Not from new york or chicago. Has not worked with Kanye west producer. No album currently listed in best buy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.26.33.91 (talk) 23:33, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment in response to Docdasuess's comments above. In fact, none of those are reliable sources--if you look at the article's talk page, I explained in detail why each one either has nothing to do with Diggz, or doesn't meet WP:RS. In response to your point about Kanye West, 1) Notability isn't inherited (that is, working with a notable person doesn't make one notable), and 2) no sources confirm he is working with West. After digging in deeper, I have little doubt that this is a person who is not currently notable, and instead is trying to use Wikipedia to become notable.

Disagree. Keep it. Working with reputable people doesn't make you famous, but it does count for something. You say blogs are reputable, but the fact is in wikis guidelines, you specificially say blogs can and are reliable. It is worth keeping up, given all that the artist has planned for the future. There is no album listed on the best buy, but if you look at the website, thats how they are going to release their album. I think this is definitely worth keeping. It has NEWS MEDIA SOURCES from the manager Ben Leinen, showing how reputable he is and that he's managing Trey Diggz.

Relevent sources, objective writing. Honestly, it feels like you guys are just NITPICKING and DECONSTRUCTING nearly every aspect of the guy. Leave it up.
