Necessity to reconsider the deletion
[edit]I don't understand why this article was deleted. Jason Upton is a Christian artist known worldwide and considered influential by many as the links below testify.
Based on Wikipedia's criteria, an artist is recognized as being notable when he:
- Has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable.
Here are some of the many articles available on the internet: http://www.relevantmagazine.com/god/worship/features/260 http://www.soulshine.ca/reviews/albumReview.php?arid=668 http://www.crosswalk.com/music/1116560/ http://www.crosswalk.com/music/1110242/ https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/music/reviews/2002/yourlovebrokethrough.html
- 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).
Integrity Music and EMI CMG (includes Sparrow Records, etc.) are a major music labels, regrouping notable artists and bands as Chris Tomlin, Underoath, KJ-52, Paul Baloche, Kirk Franklin, and many more. (N.B. : The affirmation on itickets.com from the President of Integrity Music is enforcing Jason Upton's notability.) http://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-People-Jason-Upton/dp/B000RN37V4, http://www.itickets.com/news/index.html?detail=1&id=962, http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/you-are-one-performance-track/id320166453, http://ca.music.yahoo.com/release/43550306
I suggest that this article be rewritten as soon as possible.Cgadbois (talk) 03:36, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- OK, the new-atheist agenda on Wikipedia is really corrupting the integrity of Wiki as an authoritative source. There is no sane reason for the deletion of a Wiki page on Jason Upton. The guy is incredibly famous among millions upon millions of people. He's a cultural phenomenon within the Christian music scene, and the Church in general. Just undelete this article and stop messing around with people that don't fit your agenda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.196.137.46 (talk) 07:02, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- Jason Upton's notability might be obvious to certain members of the Christian community, however it might be different non-Christian readers. The main problem with the former article was that it was not cited, there were almost no references.65.95.75.9 (talk) 04:13, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Restored per comment at deletion review
[edit]I've moved this article to the mainspace based on its author's intent to do so as evidenced at deletion review. --Bsherr (talk) 22:45, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
