No clear evidence of notability. Seems he still has yet to sign a record deal. Mention of a future (WP:CRYSTAL) release that will be released "independently". Dweller (talk) 10:33, 4 February 2011 (UTC) Also, and to answer Dweller: That should not be not categorized under (WP:CRYSTAL) because there is a citation and reference to that independent release through his Twitter status, which makes it 100% valid because it is a firsthand source.

 * Question - The publication "The Garden Island" is referenced multiple times in the article. Does anyone know if this is a reliable, independent source? VQuakr (talk) 17:23, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Answer - Yes, this is a reliable, independence source. The Garden Island is Kauai, Hawaii's only major newspaper and more info can be found at the following link: http://thegardenisland.com/app/our_newspaper/about_us/ Keep in mind, not all articles are available online due to a limited staff.

 * Twitter is not a reliable source, and nor are most first-hand sources, when establishing notability. Who is going to say that they are only a minor player in the big game of life, especially when they are trying to sell something? We need independent coverage - and I'm not too happy about your claim for The Garden Island being a reliable source, in view of your username. This appears to show a connection with a company or organisation, which is against our policy on usernames WP:USERNAME. Peridon (talk) 10:31, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Doesn't seem to have done much of note, apart perhaps from the wise move of continuing his education. I wish him luck either way. I do wish that people would understand the difference between notoriety and fame, however. Quite a few rappers do seem to be notorious, and others try to appear notorious (but aren't). Notoriety is fame for something like being a pirate, being a serial bigamist, or being a continual sockpuppeteer on Wikipedia. Fame is when a lot of people have heard of you for rather better reasons (so far as the main part of society is concerned). Peridon (talk) 21:27, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
