MC Mack

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to fail WP:MUSICBIO. The peak chart position claims in this article all refer to a different artist Craig Mack. Gbawden (talk) 12:27, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - Doesn't seem notable and as the nom says, chart data and a lot of references are from Craig Mack with just renamed titles. A lot of general information given in the article isn't verifiable, and doesn't seem to be true.  WikiVirus  C (talk) 16:22, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 *  Comment Delete When I first saw the billboard charting references, I was almost going to oppose this nomination. Then I looked deeper & read your argument, noticed that the names do not line up in the first line of the article and who the references were for. You are correct, it appears to be references for Craig Mack backing up this person, where they are not even mentioned. With that said, the Craig Mack article does not mention him being from Memphis, which one of the sources for the one currently under review do. That could lead to some confusion. My gut instinct is to either redirect or delete and redirect, but am going to see about looking more into this first. (see below) --TheSandDoctor (talk) 16:26, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete: redirect, ? What do you want to redirect to, the article for Craig Mack? This guy has absolutely nothing to do with Craig Mack... the links to Craig Mack's references are simply an attempt to pull the wool over our eyes and add fake notability. The two albums in the discography do exist (he's put out more since then), but their chart positions and certifications are fake, as is the record label (MC Mack releases his music on his own Kami Kaze production label) and even the release dates (his first album didn't come out until 2000). He was never a member of Three6 Mafia, despite the claims in the text, just an associate. The Google Books reference leads to a book about Arctic exploration. In short, the claims and references in the article are fake and the subject fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Richard3120 (talk) 17:25, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I fully agree with you that it fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO, no argument there. I made that comment just before I had to attend a lecture (so just left it a "comment" with full intention to research further & come back to this). At the time, I initially thought MC Mac to be a probable nickname/alias of Craig Mac but, after further research, it does not appear to be the case (Side note: MC EZ was a nickname of Craig's). Based on the above research, I have changed by comment to a delete vote. Thank you regardless for the reminder to come back to this though ! (Now, if you'll excuse me, I have another lecture in a couple of minutes so, off off & away!) --TheSandDoctor (talk) 19:18, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * , I can see you're busy with lectures, as in your ping above I think you accidentally confused me with another editor! Apologies if I came across as a bit sharp to you in my previous post, I was just confused by your redirect proposal and wanted some clarification. Richard3120 (talk) 19:33, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * You are correct, I did indeed accidentally ping the wrong user (Sorry for the accidental ping !), I should've looked closer when responding, so I do apologize to the both of you for that (Should've noticed something when the admin highlighter script didnt go off on your name as it does tend to work most of the time (am just used to my main computer where sometimes Chrome doesn't load it properly, so didn't flinch at it not showing up), but alas I didn't - that and the names are similar to an extent). Hopefully my explanation of my comment helped shed some light on it/made sense Richard. If not, please do let me know. Also, it wasn't really a proposal nor was it my official !vote, it was merely my gut reaction - which I was going to research further before making a !vote, I just didn't have the time at the time (as I said above). --Happy editing!

 * Delete Delving into some of the references (plus a few others not in the article,like ), he does genuinely appear to have been involved in a small way with Three 6 Mafia, but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED and the fact that their music charted and went platinum doesn't mean this person meets WP:NMUSIC. He doesn't appear in some of the other cited references at all. I could be persuaded to change my!vote if someone can show some good WP:RS, but I've failed to find any.
