GemStones (rapper)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable rapper who's friends with a notable rapper. Has appeared on a few of his friend's tracks but no hits. Claims to have "headlined" an MTV show but I can find no verification of that. Fails WP:MUSIC. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  20:08, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-notable musician. Lacks coverage of third-party reliable source, clearly fails WP:NM. Diverse  Mentality  18:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I couldn't find any reliable sources. The text of the article is copy/pasted from MySpace (with a few minor alterations). Axl  ¤  [Talk]  22:01, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * weak keep Article (and this cite) claim an album is to released this year; other sources back up claim, but say release will be in 2009. Seems reasonably notable. Matt Deres (talk) 22:35, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The album criteria is two albums on a major or important indie, not one. Unless the album comes out and is a hit (which at this point would be crystal ballery), it still doesn't meet WP:MUSIC. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  22:58, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * True, however he has also performed on two very successful mainstream albums (the Lupe Friasco albums were released by Atlantic; one went gold and the other won a Grammy award). I admit I don't know how integral he was to those albums. Matt Deres (talk) 00:20, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I would agree if he had been on one of the hit singles, but he wasn't. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  02:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
