not notable enough Yiyun 10:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• He's released two albums - surely that's enough? Stui 10:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep based on having released two albums Jcuk 11:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete for failing WP:MUSIC on three key points: No evidence of inter/national tours, no charted hits, no substantive third-party articles. I get five Ghits for "Fernando A. Rios", and two of those are this article. Granted, Google should not necessarily be the final arbiter of notability, but at this level I think the Ghits are entirely symptomatic. I also can't find any listings for the albums beyond this article, suggesting they're self-published, which is why just having albums out isn't necessarily notable.

• Comment WP:MUSIC states quite clearly a musician is notable if s/he meets ANY ONE of the criteria. This guy has apparently released two albums, if verifiable, he's notable. Jcuk 19:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Almost, but it states that the albums must have been released (...) on a major label or one of the more important indie labels - there is no indication these albums have been released on any label, and 2 Google hits for each album name doesn't help. So delete. Punkmorten 20:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per punkmortem. Literally anyone can put out albums on self-financed labels. -- GWO
• Delete. This article looks more like a self-advertisment to me. The artist is irrelevant for the genre scene. --ha-core 09:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment as I've met the guy personally I'm not going to vote either way. He is reasonably notable on the local scale... local being East Coast USA. As for international/whole country... i highly doubt anyone west of the mississippi has heard of him. He's certainly not as famous as say DJ Venom or Rob Gee who spin/perform comparable styles of music. I'm 100% certain he does not pass WP:Music... vote as you see fit.  ALKIVAR™ 19:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
