Capone (Chicano rapper)

Musician who fails WP:MUSIC, and the article has requested references since August 2007 as well (making it a WP:BLP problem to boot). JBsupreme (talk) 04:48, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep, the article does need work but looking through searches, he appears to have a very strong underground presence which would qualify his notability under WP:Music Rasadam (talk) 17:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Please provide reliable sources for your claim of notability. Corvus cornix  talk

 * Comment Capone also has an article at Capone (rapper). So, at the very least they need to be merged, but it's possible they should both just be redirected to Capone-n-Noreaga. WP:Music states that "Members of notable bands are not given individual articles unless they have demonstrated notability for activity independent of the band." I'm not sure if getting arrested for pot possession, being present at the Lil Kim shooting incident and sundry other law breaking and rap feuding grants solo notability. Verdict's still out for me until I can do more research (damnable Al Capone and his google ruining way) or hear from others who know more about rap. Vickser (talk) 05:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * According to the discussion at Talk:Capone (rapper) these are two different people. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 15:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, some more searching shows me that they are indeed separate people. It seems he's been included in a compilation of Chicano rap but I'm having problems finding reliable sources. While I don't doubt that he exists, until we have some WP:RS he's outside the realm of wikipedia. I think I have to !vote Delete barring presentation of evidence otherwise.

 * Delete. This is not the same person as Capone (rapper). This specific artist does not meet WP:MUSIC at this time. RFerreira (talk) 18:33, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
