Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Sheppard (DJ)
I'll grant that this article isn't in a very good state at present, but he does have notability under both  as the core member of a Juno Award winning band and under  as the host of a nationally syndicated radio show — and he can be properly sourced as such, because he garners at least 138 hits in ProQuest's Canadian Major Dailies database (and that's 138 hits just with "DJ" in the search to filter out hits on Chris Sheppard the non-notable Halifax photographer and Chris Sheppard the non-notable mountain biker, and doesn't preclude there being more hits to be found by searching for "Chris Sheppard musician" or "Chris Sheppard Love Inc." or "Chris Sheppard radio".) He later faded in prominence, for reasons that pose a bit of a  challenge, so I'll grant that ''recent'' coverage that would have shown up on Google News is lacking — but  doesn't require the coverage to be recent or Googlable, it just requires adequate coverage to exist ''somewhere''.And furthermore, this article actually ''did'' previously have real references in it already, which got removed in 2015 when somebody blanked the ''entire'' lead paragraph to deal with a POV attack edit within it (an issue that could have been fixed in a much more rational and much less "kill a fly with a sledgehammer" sort of way), but that blanking somehow didn't get caught by vandal patrol at the time and the article then sat leadless and unreferenced until the nominator reconstructed a new lead just moments before nominating it. I can't undertake a ''major'' repair project right away, because I have a shift at work this afternoon that I have to leave for shortly, but I'll look after reffing it up after I get home this evening — and in the interim, I have already restored the old lead (adjusted for the POV problems, of course) and its referencing
