DELETE fails WP:MUSIC and is a non-notable musician/person (or was, as the case may be). JBsupreme (talk) 21:41, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect and protect. Redirect to Slum Village and fully protect. Due to the news of his death, Baatin is definitely a plausible search term. —  Σ  xplicit 06:40, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Per Explicit. -- SquishyVic talk 07:12, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Baatin was one of the original members of Slum Village, a trio with J Dilla, and arguably its most respected and visible rapper.  He had a profound affect on rapping.  Cosprings (talk) 12:27, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It is helpful to provide sources when making such ridiculous claims. JBsupreme (talk) 15:15, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - he wasn't notable enough for anyone to create a page while he was still alive, his death doesn't change that. - fchd (talk) 18:36, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Slum Village --Melly42 (talk) 20:16, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Slum Village. I don't see any advantage to a stand-alone article as what notability there is relates to his involvement in the band. ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Slum Village. He is a plausible search item due to his death but unlikely to be so relevant to deserve a page. If nobody considered him worth of a stand-alone article while he was alive he shouldn't have one just because he died. McMarcoP (talk) 08:15, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep With 38,000 google hits and a death notice in the LA Times the guy sounds notable to me. In compliance with the WP Policy Dead Footballer I say keep.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.213.165 (talk) 18:00, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Slum Village because article doesn't demonstrate that Baatin meets this criteria in notability: "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article." Andrewlp1991 (talk) 20:40, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
