"American recording artist and music video director"; his only notability seems to be that he won two Internet song remix contests. Google searches for "Magic Mack" mostly turn up his YouTube videos and pages. Trivialist (talk) 05:39, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Article provided valid references to back up the notability of what it says according to wp:notablility. Also when you Google an artist, their Youtube videos and pages are what most likely will ALWAYS show up. --EugeneDiamond (talk) 13:34, 28 August 2012 (UTC) Sockpuppet of JacksonAnderson1234.

- The references are: a Twitter post and video posted by Cisco Adler, a blog post by Keke Palmer that briefly mentions him, an iTunes page for one of the remixes, two links to Magic Mack's own Bandcamp page, one of Magic Mack's videos, a post Magic Mack submitted to BuzzFeed, and a forum post Magic Mack made at Hypebeast. This only establishes that (1) he won some remix contests, and (2) he has accounts at several websites. None of these are independent third-party references.

- Also, I note that your sole WP contributions are deleting the AfD notice from Megan Angeles, blanking your talk page, posting to that article's AfD discussion, and posting here. Trivialist (talk) 16:49, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Checked reference links and all of them provide valid information to everything the article states. It also states that he had a release on Bananabeat Records which is back up by a reference to an iTunes link where it clearly states that the label who released it was Bananabeat Records, therefore making it another source of notability. This disscussion should definitely be closed and the page should stay.

Amalthea 12:10, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]Keep It's definitely notable according to wp:notablility as EugeneDiamond stated above and provides references to prove it's notability. --Afterthestorrrm (talk) 14:06, 28 August 2012 (UTC)— Afterthestorrrm (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Sockpuppet of JacksonAnderson1234. Amalthea 12:10, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]- Comment Closing admin, I would recommend to evaluate the arguments by the above alternate accounts of the page creator as if made by one person.

- Delete. And Note that of the three contributors who have argued for Keep, two seem to have been created for the sole purpose of arguing in favour of this article (their contributions to this page are their only contributions to Wikipedia, ever) and the third has only a handful of edits, most of them on this page. Definitely some WP:SOC'ing going on. Stalwart111 (talk) 01:48, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Further, the above has been reported; please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/EugeneDiamond. Stalwart111 (talk) 01:57, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Further, the above report resulted in indefinite blocks for both User:Afterthestorrrm and User:Grandmasterwizard as sockpuppets of User:EugeneDiamond. Stalwart111 (talk) 00:15, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Awards are not major, one release on Bananabeat Records is not enough for WP:MUSIC. Coverage is not in reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:10, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
