Silkski

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

This article seems to be about a relatively unknown record producer, who has produced music for a couple of artists. However, there isn't significant coverage of this musician from reliable sources. Discogs.com is not one. With hardly any notability, Silski fails WP:MUSIC. Karppinen (talk) 18:05, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About Silkski Article:

This artist is not relatively unknown!!!!!!! He has been known for years and have contributed to the hip hop industry in many ways. He has done more than merely a few songs for a few artist. He has been on soundtracks, produced platnium records..such as bloods and crips albums, Ice T Return of the Real...and Beavis and Butt Head (Do America). This article has good sources on the page and is cited. I do not see why or what the purpose is for this article being deleted. Every statement of the albums this artist is on has a source to back the statement.Some things he is credited under his government name (Jerome Evans) and others are just his stage name (Silkski). If discogs is not a reliable source...I wonder is allmusic.com an reliable source? If it is not...then give me a couple of days and I will have a source, rather it is Ascap or Emi to back up the references. Everything about this artist on this article is true...and I attend to do my best to fix any problem that comes along that will help this article stay up.L. E. Evans 09:38, 23 June 2010 (UTC)--L. E.

According to WP:MUSIC "Good online sources for recordings are the Freedb search engine or the Allmusic search engine. To find ownership information on song texts copyrighted in the US, the ASCAP ACE Title Search, and BMI Repertoire Search".

Within the Silkski article I have sources from Allmusic, ASCAP, Billboard, ArtistDirect, EMI, cdUniverse, and copyrights. For the records that have gone beyond gold and platnium, such as the Bloods and Crips, and Beavis and Butthead; I have provided at least three sources for each record to prove that this artist/producer is well known. Please review the Silkski article so that it could be removed from the request of deletion. Also please note that Silkski's real name is Jerome Evans and most of his credits are under his official name. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diamondthadimepiece (talk • contribs) 07:17, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
