Alphonso King Jr. II

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete. This gives me no joy, as I actually know the article subject personally. But while valid claims of notability may be possible here, this article as written is based entirely on unreliable and self-published sources such as blogs, Facebook, IMDb, YouTube and sales profiles on iTunes and Beatport and eMusic -- as well as one (#6) that very maybe might have possibly been a RS, but I can't tell because it's been cybersquatted and just tried to make me fill out a customer survey about skin cream instead of verifying any content about Alphonso King. And the only reliable source coverage I can find on either Google or ProQuest is about him criticizing a white drag queen for doing a number in blackface -- which he was definitely right to do, but it doesn't constitute a notability claim in an encyclopedia. So I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can actually find more of the reliable sourcing needed to salvage this than I've been able to, but in this state of sourcing it's not keepable just because he exists.
