*Delete Agree with nom. I see no notability Corpx (talk) 05:34, 1 July 2009 (UTC) :This interview with the guy does provide some coverage, so I'm changing my vote to Neutral Corpx (talk) 18:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Clearly passes Wikipedia:Notability (music) criteria. The article itself however does need improvement. Just looking at the Twiztid sources provides some sources for the artist.Juggalobrink (talk) 12:53, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Which part of WP:MUSIC grants notability? Corpx (talk) 16:47, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The artist passes:
    • 2. Has had a charted single or album on any national music chart. (Phatso)
    • 5. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).
    • 6. Is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles, or an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians. (Psychopathic Rydas, Dark Lotus, Twiztid) Juggalobrink (talk) 18:24, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Juggalobrink, the source you refer to is a myspace website. http://www.myspace.com/twiztid. That, coupled with a self-published book, is simply not permissible under
  WP:BLP policy. JBsupreme (talk) 17:10, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply

  • I'm actually refering to sources within the Twiztid wiki-page itself, with two interviews with Jamie where he speaks briefly on himself and his early career (sources #9 and #16). But that's just from the article, there are more citations to be found on the web, I was just refering to the article as an example. Juggalobrink (talk) 18:24, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Has that been confirmed by a reliable secondary source? What chart did the album/single chart on? Corpx (talk) 18:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• The positions are confirmed by Allmusic which doesn't require a secondary source, but yes it is also confirmed by Billboard. The album charted on the Billboard 200, Top Heatseekers, Top Independent Albums, and Top Rap Albums. Juggalobrink (talk) 19:47, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good enough for me. Keep Corpx (talk) 19:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
