Despot (rapper)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. No charted songs. The sources cited in the article are primary source interviews. Was only able to locate two secondary sources, here and here, and the biographical information in each is vacuous. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:45, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Is this a joke? He has a serious decade plus underground career, has been featured on dozens of albums (I know, notability not inherited), the article has dozens of references, he was co-owner of a prominent club and concert venue. A simple Google News search finds mainstream media references to him, such as USAToday. There's no reason for the article to be deleted. This seems like some sort of a vendetta or based on some other pretext. I've never heard of an article with 25 references (that aren't blogs, IMDb, fansites, self/first-party, etc) be nommed for non-notability. JesseRafe (talk) 17:55, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, per above points. I found at least one mention in USA Today and outlets like VICE seem to be reliable sources for this type of subject. —  Non-Dropframe    talk  18:27, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * An eight sentence-long song review in USAToday does not establish notability. I was only able to locate than two vacuous-sounding secondary sources with biographical content.  If other editors can locate more I will withdraw this nomination.  Magnolia677 (talk) 18:58, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
