Absent Minded (Canadian rapper)

Fails notability - doesn't appear to meet any WP:MUSICIAN. Sure there's sources, but claims of notability such as "record landed a position on a local London, Ontario independent hip hop chart" is well short of bar for entry here. (a NN or borderline N BLP combined with paid editing - which is disclosed but not fully on creator's userpage) Widefox ; talk 12:42, 1 December 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 00:47, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - No significant independent coverage, local charts, mixtape releases, etc. Doesn't qualify under WP:GNG or WP:BAND Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:37, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Nothing here constitutes an WP:NMUSIC pass, and none of the sourcing is strong enough to give him a WP:GNG pass in lieu — it's far too dependent on university student newspapers (a class of sourcing that NMUSIC explicitly deprecates as not permitted) and Blogspot blogs. For added bonus, this misrepresents some of its sourcing: the claim that he charted in earshot is sourced to one radio station's tracking submission to earshot, not to the actual fully compiled national chart — and even if it had been sourced to the fully compiled national chart, earshot is not a notability-conferring chart per WP:CHARTS, as it's not IFPI-certified.
