Talk:Beefy (rapper)

Notability
Notability of this subject is disputed.

He clearly doesn't match any of the notability criterion, with the possible exception of #1.

"It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable."

After reviewing the list of external links (and references) given, the only works on the subject are:


 * atomictown
 * publicradio interview
 * G4 blog entry

I am not doubting G4 as a reliable source, although a single blog post can hardly be considered "non-trivial".

I'd like to know who considers atomictown.com to qualify as a "reliable source".

This leaves a single interview on on publicradio.com, which does not count in and of itself.


 * Actually, I started the notability debate, and have found that although you're correct about C1, we've both been missing criteria #7, which states: "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability." According to this guideline, by being one of the more well-known artists in the Nerdcore scene (which we'll have to verify by citations -- but I'm sure it can be done easily enough), he passes notability, despite the lack of strong media coverage. Furthermore, nerdcore is an internet phenomenon, so of course most references will be websites and blogs. He may make it into a print magazine or newspaper someday (other than the one sentence blurb in Wired), but even if he doesn't, he's notable enough to have a stub. Spazure 06:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

He was also featured in the documentary film "Nerdcore Rising" 66.100.224.155 (talk) 15:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
