 * Weak delete. A couple of appearances on the Hot Rap Singles chart might be evidence of notability, and his first album did receive a cursory AllMusic review. He also seems to have been the subject of some "Tupac is alive" conspiracy theories. However I can't find any substantial WP:RS coverage that would help him meet WP:GNG. The article itself states "Little is known about the rapper because of the lack of publicity." Camerafiend (talk) 16:15, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Weak keep A couple of appearances on the Hot Rap Singles chart is evidence of notability, and the AllMusic review of Res-Sa-Rec-Shun is also notable as well, it's insanity to delete such a well-sourced article as this, and all the work I've put into it would go to waste, plus, it's just began after being a long deleted article for years. It just needs improvement, that's all. Please keep this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bozo33 (talk • contribs) 17:14, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It isn't well sourced though. There isn't a single reference to a reliable secondary source. Camerafiend (talk) 19:14, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Please do note however that the article can probably be userfied in the event that this discussion closes as delete. This would allow you to continue working on it if you think it can be improved. Camerafiend (talk) 19:24, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * How about the reception of Res-Sa-Rec-Shun is added? Then will you feel like keeping this article? Bozo33 (talk) 21:31, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Reprinting a review, verbatim, from a non-notable website (with insightful prose like "The verse is dope and it's about smoking and drinking.") does not address my concerns at all. There are still zero references to reliable, independent sources. Camerafiend (talk) 15:53, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep per above. The subject and his works should be distinguished from Shakur's - and it should be noted as in the article that he does sound like him. 71.82.112.43 (talk) 05:26, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Camerafiend, that is about the album So Much Drama, not Res-Sa-Rec-Shun, still waiting for your answer on Res-Sa-Rec-Shun, also 30rap.com is a notable, reliable, independent website, don't know why you're so stubborn, 71.82.112.43 sure isn't. Bozo33 (talk) 08:31, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as per OP. No indication of any notability. His only claim to fame appears to be surrounding Tupac conspiracy theories. Karst (talk) 20:20, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete and block creator - Article is a mixture of plagiarism (first line of the biography steals from the source cited), or WP:OR. I've been spending the past few hours cleaning up after his WP:BADHAND use of an IP, and am currently writing an ANI report over all the messes the creator (who falsely claims to be an administrator on his user page) has created.
