718:- All their artist sessions are listed alphabetically and you will find there is a small amount of proefessional performers, maybe 100 or so and Ian Erix is right there in the list with them. Furthermore, if you go to to www.mtv.co.uk and type Ian Erix into the search field, you will see he comes up as a featured artist on MTV. MTV does not feature any random Tom, Dick or Harry that uploads a video so Voceditenore statement that his work on MTV is self published is completely ridicolous and untrue and anyone who knows anything about the music industry knows that. Additioanly, in their official artist section, MTV UK published the following statement about Ian Erix "Ian Erix is an international Pop Punk rock star. An American bloke, with top ten singles already under his belt in parts of Europe, Asia and Africa, his brand of infectious Emo/Punk/Powerpop music is on course to launch worldwide with the debut of his interactive television series, "Journey Of A Rock Star".
647:. Those here who assert that it does will have to name which of the criteria it meets and provide evidence for it rather than asserting over and over again that it does. I have not found anything on the internet about him that wasn't generated or written by him or mirroring this Knowledge (XXG) article or his own publicity blurbs. The fact that he offers his music for sale and does something in public does not make him a "public figure". His "TV series" is homemade. Can someone please explain which television station or major internet media actually broadcast this? Who produced it? Who has reviewed it in a notable independent publication? His MTV live session is specifically in the section for "emerging artists" and "future stars". It seems any member can upload one of their live sessions. MTV doesn't appear to be selective about these videos either. They currently have

of the wording which was removed during several revisions. I will take every measure to make sure that I write in a neutral tone and I will make sure that proper sources are sited. I do kindly ask that Drmies and other editors respect any revisions I make that are properly sourced. I am not looking to turn this into a trivial back and forth argument. As
Knowledge (XXG) clearly states in its own guidelines, "The threshold for inclusion in Knowledge (XXG) is verifiability, not truth; that is, whether readers can check that material in Knowledge (XXG) has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true".
714:
not a community for amatuer artists and it is a complete lie that 79,000 people have uploaded a video session to MTV like his. It is just completely and totally unfactual. It is true that MTV UK has an emerging artist section. Most new artists who are getting buzz when they first appear on the channel are featured in that section. Acts like Fall Out Boy, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga all appear in this section and they all remain listed there to this day even after they have exploded into mainstream worldwide fame. See the MTV section here

Europe which is where his first album was released. These are places where
English is not a primary language or used at all and therefore stories written about Ian Erix in Chinese, Japanese or Russian, for example, would not show up in Google News, especially when doing a search utilizing characters from the English alphabet which are not used in those countries. Additionally, I am not sure how long news stories are kept live in Google News but Ian's first album release was in 2005 which was about 5 years ago so many stories may have already timed out.
551:
While I realize that some may consider Star
Magazine a tabloid, it doesn't change the fact that they have published articles on Ian Erix and that they are talking about him and that means besides meeting the Knowledge (XXG) guidelines to be included as a musician, he also meets guidelines to be included as a public figure. Again, I don't understand why this page should be nominated for deletion. It doesn't make any sense as there has been more than enough proof provided that it should be kept. Additional links are :
546:"' - It has already been proven that sources have written about him. Links to All Music Guide, Billboard, and MTV were provided above and cited in the original article. The MTV link is not only a performance video, but there is information written and published about Ian Erix by MTV and obviously they are a huge media outlet so that should certainly carrie a lot of weight. See the words they published about him here:
420:- The only available coverage that can even be described as possibly an independent reliable source is the All music profile that seems to have been copied all over the place. The assertion that he has hits in other countries is not substantiated beyond this one All music guide profile. If there is coverage in non-English sources, please bring them forward as there is close to zero in English. --

you can easily find numerous media on Ian Erix in an online search such as professionally created music videos, clips from TV shows, and appearances on MTV it makes it painfully obvious that Ian Erix has some sort of professional music career, at the very least. At this link alone you can see several music videos of his that have receieved hundreds of thousands of video views by the public.

768:. I have yet to see any evidence that he has had a top 10 single, despite the claims. He's an emerging artist, not an emerged one as evidenced by the continued inability of the article's editors to provide multiple independent reliable sources which attest to his notability. Provide the evidence for him passing even one of the criteria at

Myspace page www.msypace.com/ianerix he has over 100 thousand fans and millions of song plays. Those 2 official social network pages alone prove that he has a considerable following consisting of well over a quarter of a million people. That in itself should justify a claim of notability for
Knowledge (XXG).

I honestly don't understand how this can even be a debate at this point. Ian Erix meets many of the general inclusion guidelines for musicians. If that's not enough, here are some more links to published articles about Ian Erix, one of them is from one of the biggest celebrity magazines in the USA.

The person nominating this article for deletion has even himself admitted that there is an independant reliable source citing Ian Erix as a recognized music artist of merit with chart hits in other countries. Who is he to second guess what All Music Guide has published about Ian Erix? The fact that

I could elaborate here even furhter but I do believe that I have already suffiently proven that user Drmies has made a mistake in recommending this page for deletion. I ask that you remove it as a candidate for deletion at once. Additionally, I would like to inform you that I intend on replacing some

Regardless, the fact remains that there are many ways to prove that Ian Erix is a notable person who should be more than qualified to have a
Wikipedi aarticle on him and numerous sources to prove such have been sited in his page before the revisions were made by user Drmies. Billboard.com, the online

Voceditenore's comment above regarding MTV is absolutely erroneous. MTV is very selective of anyone appearing on their network and Ian Erix appeared in their London Studio where he filmed his live session. The idea that it was filmed in his bedroom or something and self uploaded is absurd. MTV is

And since MTV is an independant media outlet that is well known and respected music auhtority aroudn the world, they are a reliable source and should be considered as such and the written information they published on Ian Erix should go to his notabilty. Here is a link to what I copied above about

Moreover, evidence of Ian's notorietery and popularity can be seen on his various social network sites which are his official pages that were linked to the article prior to the revision made by user Drmies. On his Bebo page, Erix has over 200 thousand registered fans www.bebo.com/ianerix and on his

If you click the link, you will see a 7 minute clip of the TV series entitled
Journey Of A Rock Star, starring Ian Erix. It is impossible to deny that. The Ian Erix article never claimed that the TV series was #1 in it's time slot or that it was the most successful series in the world. If it did,

Furthermore, user Drmies claims alack of Google News stories is sufficent evidence that Erix is not a notable enough music star. This is a completely unfair assumption. Before the Ian Erix page was edited by Drmies it actually read that Ian Erix gained most of his popularity in Asia and parts of

It makes perfect sense like another user stated that since Ian's music was released in China or Russia or Japan that an
English google search would not turn up as many links as would had the music gotten a full release in English speaking countries. This fact is perfectly aligned with what All
