Delete. No notability at all, other than having an artist page on the MTV website, and being mentioned in a book about weddings. No awards or commendations. No hits. Josh3580_talk/hist 05:43, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Artist received numerous awards from the United States Local Business Association. The artist has also been awarded Best of 2012 by Gigmasters.com, one of the nations leading online booking agencies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnyrockinsac (talk • contribs) 05:56, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to gigmasters.com, that award went to Rick Torres (Elvis impersonator).Josh3580_talk/hist 06:03, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Look up http://www.gigmasters.com/dj/djbuddyholly as proof of the award given. Rick Torres is in a completely different category and not in the DJ category.

That page is an artist's page on gigmaster, not an article about the award. Please see the verifiabilty and reliability guidelines. Josh3580_talk/hist 06:09, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see the award now, it means the artist received at least four stars from his bookings. I still don't think that meets WP:NOTABILITY, but this discussion will resolve it. Thank you for being so responsive. Josh3580_talk/hist 06:11, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The company also received Best of Burlingame 3 years in a row for the Music category from the United States Local Business Associated located in Washington D.C. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnyrockinsac (talk • contribs) 06:15, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

CommentThe award mentioned specifically above definitely does not elevate this person to the level of notability required by WP:NMUSIC. As that is the entirety of reliably sourced content in this article and I find absolutely nothing in the way of reliable sources to reference any of it, I will be placing a G11 speedy on it instead. I will be deleting all the unreferenced biographical info per WP:BLP shortly. John from Idegon (talk) 06:20, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
CommentThis artist is also on the hit cd Cyberfest 2000 along with major music artists Moby, Mix Master Mike, Paul Okenfold etc. Cyberfest 2000: Sounds of the digital revolution, is a hit CD. The artist is notable in having an original song featured while artist was under the name DJ Devious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnyrockinsac (talk • contribs) 06:31, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Any number of non notable awards will not make someone notable. As per WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG. Bluefist ^talk 06:34, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Also regarding the "Best of Burlingame" award mentioned above, see this from the BBB [1] And please stop wasting our time with unreferenced claims of achievement. Unless you can provide a citation to a reliable source, it didn't happen. John from Idegon (talk) 06:36, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Considering the above, I would ask the closing admin consider salting too. John from Idegon (talk) 07:02, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt. There just isn't any notability for this guy. The award is maybe enough to save him from the speedy he's up for, but it definitely can't give him any notability. Part of the reason is because ultimately it's a WP:PRIMARY source since he uses the site to sell his services as a DJ. It's in their best interests to give their awards to people they represent since it could make them more money. There's also the problem that the award doesn't seem to really be notable to anyone other than Gigmasters.com and the people they give it to. Other than that, there really isn't any coverage for this guy. I'd have speedied it myself except that I tagged a redirect for this guy that went to Buddy Holly. I've salted the other article.
