Socialite, club promoter and Olivia Rodrigo's boyfriend. Notability is not inherited from a partner, but that's pretty much all we have to get past WP:GNG, which this article, tagged for notability since May, lacks any evidence that its subject meets.

...and yet it is an interview, comprised largely of the subject talking about himself. I'm also underwhelmed by RS articles credited to "staff." It's a vague enough definition that it can be either legitimate coverage or promotional without revealing one way or another. It is worth noting, though, that a quick perusal of the site reveals most articles on I.D. Magazine are credited writers with bylines. The few credited to "staff" tend to be content pulled from other sources. ShelbyMarion ( talk) 15:12, 7 July 2022 (UTC) reply

Weak keep Unhappy to weigh in with a keep -- I'm with Oaktree b on the minor celebrity thing -- but he (just barely) meets GNG. The Complex references are solid, as is GQ. There's a photo feature in Interview, references from WWD (questionable reliability) and brief mentions in the New York Times [6], the LA Times [7],and others that I accessed through the Wikipedia library. Not suggesting those refs demonstrate notability, but they do suggest it. JSFarman ( talk) 17:51, 9 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep While the sourcing isn't great, it is there and, with 22,000 pageviews over the last month, the page is clearly of value to our readers which to me is an important factor. NemesisAT ( talk) 10:01, 11 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as even the "weak keep" voters pointed out, sourcing is extremely weak. Whole article reeks of self-promotion. At the very least, it's WP:TOOSOON. I don't see "Complex" as a reliable source - it looks like a website built to promote products under a thin veneer of "reporting" lifestyle "news". It's certainly not journalism and appears to have minimal editorial control. In other words, it looks like a site that would take money from Zack Bia in exchange for promoting him.

Which one of those things is justification for keeping? "record label that has notable artists signed and developed" - notability is not inherited. "being a recognized DJ and and club promoter in the Los Angeles socialite scene" - where's the sources that say that? "Olivia Rodrigo stepped into his personal life" - you must be joking. None of those reasons are valid. Wes sideman ( talk) 16:48, 1 August 2022 (UTC) reply
