Lil' King
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Subject is non-notable rapper that is full of weasel words and predictions. Most of it is unreferenced and in the future tense or--from what I can tell--outright made up. Google shows me nothing of Lil' King other than the usual myspace stuff. There have been a series of articles by User:Girlsalltheway2009 and User:Livinglifetoothefullest about this artist and related groups, all of which suffer from the same issues. The article The Best King Music Group is completely made up. (That one I have nominated for CSD but, since the prod tags have been removed from other articles in this series (example 1, example 2, example 3, I'll include it here too.) I'll add all of them to this nomination because they all fail WP:MUSIC and WP:CRYSTAL, and might be vandalism. Girlsalltheway2009 has a stated conflict of interest in the topic. justinfr (talk) 03:53, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. I should point out that many of the articles have claims of notability. There are, however, no references. Since many of the articles in this series play loose with the facts, I suggest that anything unreferenced is probably untrue. justinfr (talk) 04:08, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Further, it appears the anonymous IP 24.155.200.56 is selectively inserting references to Lil' King (and somebody named Troy Rodriguez) into other articles (see his contributions for the full list of diffs--basically every one).I suggest this is further evidence of vandalism. The user uses tables and templates quite proficiently, suggesting it's a veteran user not a newbie. I'm going to suggest a checkuser and report him for disruptive editing if this continues. justinfr (talk) 04:32, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete inclusion of Troy Rodriguez suggests yet another sockpuppet of the guy behind this. JuJube (talk) 06:48, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. You're right, the author is a sockpuppet. I've listed them all here. justinfr (talk) 14:08, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, there's a list of MTV award nominees, and Lil' King is not among them. The other facts I checked turned up just as false. Huon (talk) 14:05, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
