Non-notable recording artist. Article is most likely an autobiography as the author's username is.

There are many claims of importance in the article but none of them would satisfy WP:ARTIST or WP:BIO. Subject fails WP:GNG with no Google News search or Google News Archive search results.

Many of the claims here seem to be false. Author claims that subject has been covered by HipHopSince1987.com and XXL Magazine but both show no mention of him on their entire website (see here and here).

Given the seemingly false claims made in the article, it may qualify for G11 but I think it's better to give this subject due diligence so that the article can't be easily recreated with other false claims of importance.  Ol Yeller21 Talktome  17:06, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Personally, I think there are several unsubstantiated claims of importance but I can see how one would dismiss those given that several of these claims are patently false. I wouldn't oppose a speedy deletion but I doubt that this problem will go away with a speedy deletion.  Having an AfD to fall back on will make this more permanent.

 * Delete - Not notable. In addition to the lack of press coverage, the mixtape he released for free "for the fans" currently has 146 streams and 2 downloads -- see . -- Foetusized (talk) 17:05, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete under CSD A7. It is NOT enough to make an assertion of notability to overcome CSD A7. It must be a CREDIBLE assertion of notability. The article makes no credible assertion of notability, either as to WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. It is plainly eligible for deletion under A7. Safiel (talk) 04:39, 10 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - I can agree that there is no credible assertion of notability, but I'll go with a regular rather than speedy deletion to ensure we have something that sticks. There is absolutely no coverage whatsoever in independent reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 20:56, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Note - I feel like I need to point out that to qualify for A7 speedy deletion, an article must not make any claim of importance not notability. Those are two very different things.  The article makes several claims of importance, such as having received significant coverage from multiple independent and reliable sources which could even be considered a claim of notability per WP:GNG.  Look, as much as the next editor, I don't like when people come to Wikipedia and write promotional articles about themselves and include information that seems to be completely made up but some of you seem a little eager to pull the trigger.  With a speedy, you stand to have the user come back and make an article here or at another location on Wikipedia while we stand to gain literally nothing when compared to an AfD.  The only thing we lose with an AfD is a little bit of time and we gain a discussion that will allow for G4 deletions in the future when the author will most likely return.
