AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Deleted via a meatpuppet-infested AFD last year; recreated after with a few new sources. One of the new sources is a student newspaper (McGill daily); most of the limited coverage seems to be due to the novelty appeal, but I don't see enough 3rd-party reliable source coverage to warrant inclusion.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Self-published works (in this case a single Youtube video) are seldom notable. There is no indication this is one of the exceptions. Edward321 (talk) 23:22, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep A review and interview on two separate major Canadian music sites seem to be solid third-party sources. The novelty factor doesn't dominate the article, although I'm assuming his video is going to be the primary reason for people visiting his page. The article itself is balanced and informative and I don't really see a reason for deletion. Also he's not self-published.

 * Delete. Notability just isn't there. Niteshift36 (talk) 08:24, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep The artist is not self-published, nor is his notability solely the result of a single Youtube video. He has a CD available on iTunes which was released by a well-regarded Canadian Indie record label and reviewed on a prominent Canadian music website. He has also been interviewed by a different and equally major Canadian music site. Footballman010101 (talk) 01:21, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Only trivial coverage in reliable sources. Doesn't satisfy WP:BAND. Keep votes seem to editors with few edits outside of the topic&mdash;would appreciate the views of a frequent contributor to various music-related articles. Bongo  matic  03:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep – He had an album reviewed in Exclaim!. He was interviewed on CTV News on July 18, 2000. There were several paragraphs about him in an article in the National Post (December 10, 2002 "And may the best dis win: Young emcees battle for $1,000 and bragging rights", p. AL2). He was mentioned in a larger article about the "bad boys of hip hop" in the Toronto Star (October 26, 2003; "The worse it gets, the better it sells: Makes a killing by belittling women", p. A7). He also was mentioned in other Toronto Star articles such as "Hiphope; For more than two years, the sound of In Divine Style has lit up Queen St. W. The vibe is positive, but unfortunately the bar sales are weak, by Lisa Wright", April 11, 2004, p. B1; and "Four faces of hip hop, 5 venues", October 10, 2004, p. B4. Taken together, there's enough to meet the general notability guideline. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 04:07, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
