Cory Gunz
Contested prod (without any reason). Fails WP:MUSIC and has been failing verifiability policy since early 2007 as well. No evidence of non-trivial coverage from multiple third party publications. JBsupreme (talk) 06:51, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The only "notability" that this artist has comes from appearances on remixes (that weren't mainstream versions, by the way) of a few records.  --Winger84 (talk) 07:02, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Maybe notable someday, but not now. LotLE × talk  07:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Without references, I would have to say delete it. I'm not great with policy, but I looked over arguments for keeping or deleting and it is really tough without a source to want to keep it. Craig Montgomery (talk) 08:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:MUSIC. LonelyBeacon (talk) 09:44, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep because he's been associated with Lil Wayne,who is very notable. BigTVFan (talk) 16:39, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Notability is not inherited. Please show evidence of non-trivial publications about this person, not his associates.  Thank you, JBsupreme (talk) 17:02, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Signed to Universal/Motown and then to Island/Def Jam? That makes him notable, in my opinion. Radioinfoguy (talk) 17:01, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That claim is not sourced, just like the rest of the entire article. Verifiability policy is non-negotiable when dealing with WP:BLP articles.  JBsupreme (talk) 18:46, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Cory Gunz is listed, as part of the Universal Motown roster. Click Here  That was easy to find...  Just considering that he is/was signed to UMRG, Rihanna used him on a remix, and that he supposedly has his own release coming out, is more than  good for me.  I can't say if what appears in the article is all true, perhaps it needs cleaned, or adopted by an experienced editor.  Isn't that what Wikipedia is all about, taking an article, nurturing it, and making it work?  I believe too many people jump on the delete bandwagon, without really looking into the subject, or thinking much about it.  Just because the article is poorly sourced and perhaps not the most well written, doesn't mean it should be deleted.  He appears to be a promising up and coming performer.  The article should, at least, be kept as a stub and expanded, as his career continues. Radioinfoguy (talk) 02:10, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. None of the claims made within the article are verifiable, thus fails WP:V and related policies.  RFerreira (talk) 20:00, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
