King Magnetic

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article fails to meet notability guidelines in WP:MUSIC. Note that page has been deleted three previous times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qwyrxian (talk • contribs) 22:37, 28 June 2010


 * Added Article written by Chris Faraonewriter from The Phoenix mentioning KM directly. KM is featured in his Faraone's upcoming book. Article Faraone Author Bio on The Phoenix website

Also Hiphop DX is reputable and mentions him directly with his association with the creator of AOTP Vinnie Paz and how KM highlights the album. Here's the link to more proof [] King Magnetic was on the lead single God flesh. This album also Charted on Billboard.com. I still don't see the issue? Rewdnes (talk) 19:24, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

1. thatshiphop.com is a VERY reputable site that interviews notable artist's. some examples 50 Cent interviewed by thatshiphop.com 2. B-Real(Cypress Hill) 3. Ludacris The other source I used Conspiracy Radio is also Reputable. Has interviewed the likes of Tech_N9ne, RZA (WuTang Clan) etc.. Rewdnes 18:37, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree let's not let this page fall victim due to the lack of knowledge on the subject. Some reasons why the article should remain.


 * Delete. I couldn't find any significant coverage. No other indication of WP:MUSIC being met.--Michig (talk) 05:33, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * redirect. to Army of the Pharaohs. lacks significant coverage about him in independent reliable sources. the rest is just not inherited. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:19, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I agree that this would be better as a redirect. However, since the original editor has already recreated three times after deletion, we'll need to take care to make sure it stays a redirect.Qwyrxian (talk) 11:19, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Primary editor has added 3 "references." One is a product listing (so not helpful); the second is about Army of Pharaohs, mentioning KM only in passing; the third is a direct interview of KM.  While that interview helps, it doesn't seem to be enough to solve the problem; however, others with more insight into hip hop may disagree if that magazine has a history of interviewing primarily notable people.

 * Comment Someone has been violating copyright duffbeerforme (talk) 04:00, 2 July 2010 (UTC)*Delete or Redirect.  Not sufficiently notable for a keep.  But copyright issues must be addressed if redirected.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:57, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment What are the copyrite issues do you speak of Epeefleche? If you mean the text used in the article? It seems the website that did the coverage copy pasted the text from the wiki article written. If I'm wrong please advise to what you are referring too. Thanks
