Every Avenue (rapper)

I have been unable to find any evidence that this article meets verifiability requirements. None of the links presented lead anywhere relevant; most are 404s. I've tried searching various strategies in Google News and in a library database of newspaper and magazine articles, but have found nothing that supports WP:N notability, or in fact anything about this musician. Every Avenue is not listed as a producer or co-writer for "Locked Out of Heaven", for "Castle of Glass", and for "Mr. Supafly" as the article claims. Prod was removed without comment.

 * Delete. I'm not finding anything on Google to indicate this person was involved in the songs mentioned in the article. Even if this is not a hoax, the subject does not meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSIC at this time.  Gong   show  00:23, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete: Lack of substantial coverage in multiple relaible sources. Actually, lack of sources, period. I, too, smell a hoax afoot. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 04:37, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - No significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. — Joaquin008  ( talk ) 10:28, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The categories on the article claim that this musician has won a Grammy Award and a Brit Award. That makes me all the more suspicious that this is a hoax. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 20:50, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't find anything to suggest that the subject meets the guidelines for inclusion, and I also suspect this is a WP:HOAX in the light of some of the unverified claims in the article. — sparklism hey! 10:03, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
