Diggy Simmons

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Being the son of a rapper does make make this 15 year old notable. He has never charted and has released only non-notable mixed tapes. He does not pass any test for inclusion. Bigvernie (talk) 19:29, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - His first mixtape is critically acclaimed has a well-developed GA article, The First Flight. One is released today and will no doubt warrant a page sooner or later. This is enough to keep this page. Candy  o32  15:13, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Undecided - from a procedural standpoint, the article for his album The First Flight would have never reached GA recognition if other Wikipedia editors hadn't found the sources verifiable and significant. So if the album has received coverage at that level, there should be enough to go on for the kid's biography article. The article needs improvement, which should be fairly easy by bringing in information from the sources that are already cited at the album article. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 18:26, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Update to above vote - I see that the GA status for the album article was illegitimate so I have changed my vote about the artist to "undecided." But note that if we find the kid to be non-notable in this particular debate, per WP:ALBUMS the album article will have to be deleted too. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 15:21, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

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


 * Delete I delisted the mixtape from GA level. There is some coverage of Simmons evidenced in the mixtape article, but not terribly substantial or substantiating criteria of WP:MUSICBIO. As long as there is no definite release that can attract critical coverage and possibly chart, the notability question is not solved and I don't think it's there yet. No prejudice against recreation if substantial coverage and a career happen. Hekerui (talk) 20:02, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Run's House. Not notable. – Chase  ( talk ) 03:48, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
