No significant coverage in reliable sources, partly completely unreferenced. Nothing found via Google News beyond B.G. Knocc Out speaking about his association with Eazy E - notability is not inherited. Given the content, there are also WP:BLP issues. Huon (talk) 20:54, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep Did nominator do WP:BEFORE or just check the current state of the article? A quick set of Google-assisted searches reveals and a bit at  and . Yes, there's a bit of WP:ROUTINE, but there's enough to think that the article can be expanded. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:56, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - I did my BEFORE and commented on it: "Nothing found via Google News beyond B.G. Knocc Out speaking about his association with Eazy E" - like, you know, "B.G. Knocc Out Alleges Eazy-E Was Murdered, Recalls Showdown With Nate Dogg", "B.G. Knocc Out Recalls Nearly Fighting Suge Knight With Eazy-E" or "B.G. Knocc Out Recalls Golf Course Brawl With Nate Dogg". The other two "sources" you provide to me look like a redirect to Facebook and some organization's homepage that doesn't even mention B.G. Knocc Out. AllMusic doesn't have a biography of him.

Hard to believe this article is nominated for outright deletion when all I have to do is click on "Find sources: books" and hundreds of print references to this person in published sources in the form of biographies, memoirs, popular music album charts, etc. turn up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.94.113 (talk) 04:14, 15 November 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Sounds like some more time spent reviewing sources would be useful.
 * Comment - how about presenting those independent reliable sources you found that cover him in some detail here so we can review them? Huon (talk) 11:20, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as passes WP:NMUSIC with releases on two major labels one of which is owned by Universal Music, there is also a lot of coverage to wade through which is a good sign, will do so later, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 23:10, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
