The result was   Delete. Sources that meet WP:RS simply don't exist on this one. Since he is signed to a major label, there is a better chance than most that he will eventually become notable. So - this is a delete without prejudice against recreation if and when this artist eventually meets the notability guidelines. SmashvilleBONK! 00:15, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Nipsey Hussle
Declined speedy. This artist fails WP:MUSIC and lacks non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications. Speculative claims and coverage by blogspot/wordpress do not apply. JBsupreme (talk) 17:12, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep I've reviewed wp:music, and admittedly, he meets none of the criteria for notability. But he is signed to Epic, a major label, and has upwards of 30k google hits. I fail to see why we should delete an article which is better than some existing ones. It is well written (with a couple tone issues here and there), and doesn't seem to be a self-made or zealous fan-made (it isn't overbearingly laudatory). In short, it is well written and the artist seems to have the potential to become notable. And this keep is coming from someone who despises nn content on WP.

 * Delete - Currently fails WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. I couldn't find any reliable independent secondary sources. I suspect the majority of the article stems from original research/personal knowledge. Morbidthoughts (talk) 22:05, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article doesn't include sources but plenty of sources exist.  Here are a few; they seem reliable enough to me to keep the article, especially given the success they describe.      (blog of a print magazine)  He's signed to Epic records, which is major, and one of these sources says he's got a "radio single", which I take to mean he's in some degree of radio rotation.  He also contributed (one track) to Pac's Life, which has many notable artists involved in it, and reached #9 on the charts.  WP:NOT applies, too.  Mango juice talk 12:26, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Unfortunately I don't feel that any of the sources provided by Mangojuice meet up to our standards for reliable sources.  RFerreira (talk) 18:59, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. This stuff is true; I've followed this guy since day one. He's a good and interesting rapper and he's on his way up fast, so i think people will want to know about him soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.216.67.130 (talk) 01:49, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
