 * I created this page based on its contents. Upon doing some reaserch (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5157935), I noticed that he was affiliated with the group Digable Planets, which would meet the requirements for a musician.  However, this was not stated on the page.  Perhaps I should retract the nomination for deletion? Can someone advise me on the proper protocol?

 * I think you can remove the notability and AfD tags from the top of the article. King Britt has also lectured at the Red Bull Music Academy and appears on the website. He has had mainstream media coverage on MTV: and worked with Ursula Rucker.
 * As an aside, you may want to check whether the following page meets the criteria for notability: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Nobody. Numerous edits have been made by single purpose accounts with conflict of interest and none of the information is verifiable from reputable secondary sources. Instead much of the second hand information is sourced from the subject's own website. WaltonSimons1 (talk) 10:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Totally agree with Duffbeerforme - WaltonSimons1 has some serious question marks regarding his motives in the matter of Little Nobody / IF? Records.DSK1984 (talk) 13:35, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Keep – The nominator made no indication as to what research was done to determine whether this musician is notable. As it happens, the subject easily meets the general notability guideline, or WP:MUSICBIO criterion #1. I've added four references just now, and there are dozens and dozens more that can be added.

 * Comment It is up to the article to establish notability, is it not? Thanks for adding the references. 15:16, 18 August 2009 (UTC)Lattefever  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lattefever (talk • contribs)
 * I somehow missed that it was you who had added the note about researching and finding the NPR story. Sorry about that. But yes, WP:BEFORE suggests that we first attempt a search for sources before bringing an article to AfD. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 16:13, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Easily meets WP:GNG and WP:MUSIC as demonstrated by Paul Erik. sparkl!sm hey! 15:34, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
