Johncongo (rapper)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Long story short, this page was originally at Johncongo, but the page has been repeatedly speedied under WP:A7 to the point where User:Writ Keeper protected the page after the 7th attempt to create an entry. I found this one as it was brought to WP:REFUND in an attempt to get the page unprotected and moved. The problem here is that there just isn't any notability. The article makes claims, but I can find no actual coverage for him. The page has sources, but they're either dead links or they don't mention him at all- something that would be necessary in order to show notability. A search for his name doesn't bring up anything either. I figure we can do an official AfD for this, that way we can just speedy it as WP:G4 in the future. If this is deleted, I'd recommend that this get salted as well to prevent re-creation. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   16:19, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * It looks like this was at AfD previously, but had been speedied. I'd like to request that this not be speedied, as I'd like a formal AfD consensus from here on out. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   16:22, 23 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fails WP:NOTABLE. Harrison2014 (talk)
 * Delete. Fails General notability guideline. I could find no coverage of him at all in secondary sources. As said, none of the links on the page mention him, which is a bad sign for an article first created this March. All the Google results seem to be social media. —gdfusion (talk&#124;contrib) 17:56, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That kind of worried me too, which was why I nominated it. I feel a little bad about this because I do feel like I'm kicking a puppy with all of this, but there's still a big lack of notability here. There's a draftspace copy though, so if/when he does get more coverage they can always re-submit that one. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   18:01, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep The article just need more source and clean up but not delete..From google it appears he is a rapper with some criteria that fit in an article.. MrOneTime (talk) 03:03, 25 August 2014 (UTC) — MrOneTime (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

*Keep : The article should not be deleted. He seems recognize through one of its singles.. Werightere (talk) 09:56, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * MrOneTime and Werightere are confirmed socks of Latertinsna. Mike V  •  Talk  16:34, 12 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. This subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. He hasn't gained significant coverage in reliable sources and is not even known in Nigeria. I believe MrOneTime and Werightere are either sock-puppets or meat-puppets. Both accounts were open relatively the same time. Both accounts have not contributed to any other article apart from this one. I find that very suspect.   V e r s a c e 1 6 0 8    (Talk) 14:23, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know anything about Werighthere, whose only two other edits were creating blank user and user talk pages, but MrOneTime and Latertinsna worked in coordination at Wiktionary, and their edits were pretty much interchangeable. If not the same person, they were definitely in communication offwiki. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:14, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Just so you know: the account that created this also created an entry at Wiktionary, which was speedily deleted (the stage name of a rapper simply isn't dictionary material) to which they responded by re-creating the entry- repeatedly. MrOneTime also recreated the same entry once in the same period. In total, the entry was deleted 6 times by 4 different admins and re-created 5 times in 2 hours before I blocked both accounts to put a stop to it. A couple of weeks later, MrOneTime re-created it again (this time in lowercase). Adding in a bogus template and category used in the entries, that's 4 different pages and 9 deletions. Neither account has edited anything else at Wiktionary except for their user and user talk pages. Given that record, any pretense of good faith by either of those accounts just isn't credible.
