Hot Rod (rapper)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article deleted twice before after discussions (see first discussion and second discussion; note the second discussion was under the name of "Young Hot Rod"). No deletion review was done as far as I can tell. I am hesitant to simply delete since the article appears to now assert some degree of notability. I have absolutely no knowledge in the field, however, and therefore as far as I am concerned this is a procedural renominate with no opinion on my part. It is my strong opinion that in light of the recreations, if the article is again deleted after a discussion that the article should be salted. --Nlu (talk) 15:17, 25 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment If claims in the text are true, wp:notability is a possibility.  But also has the look of a possible smoke-and-mirrors job.  Has few or none wp:notability suitable references.   North8000 (talk) 18:03, 25 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Only two singles released and a third on the way.  Only two of the refs given in the article are anywhere near reliable.  This is a case of too-soon. Bgwhite (talk) 23:51, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions.  — • Gene93k (talk) 18:22, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Courcelles 19:46, 1 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep The Allmusic, Vibe and mtv.com sources in the article are all good. He has been found notable by third parties due to the g-unit connection and satisfies wp:music regardless of any subjective assessment of his career to date. 86.44.26.197 (talk) 10:29, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. References are very weak. Allmusic, imdb, iTunes are all-inclusive databases that in themselves don't prove notability. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 16:36, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
