not notable aside from this one minor news mention, which in the new yorker case may be pure snark. WP:BLP1E applies here. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:38, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: But, this ONEEVENT got huge media attention. An article mentions, he has been recording tracks since 2005. Is there any notable published album of the singer? --Tito Dutta (contact) 03:46, 17 March 2013 (UTC) After further studies I could not find any notable album of the rapper! --Tito Dutta (contact) 05:12, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep since there is no policy WP:STUPID, just WP:NOTABLE which he seems to be. Borock (talk) 08:02, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. One event, which didn't exactly attract "huge media attention", as far as I can tell. DoctorKubla (talk) 08:24, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Article and sources fail to note how this is not WP:NOTNEWS or how he is notable per WP:MUSICBIO. --DHeyward (talk) 09:18, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Seems to fit WP:ONEEVENT to a T. Ducknish (talk) 21:15, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ONEEVENT, and calling it an "event" is pretty generous. The coverage reads like it could've started with The Onion. --BDD (talk) 01:48, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E. Inks.LWC (talk) 09:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ACADEMIC. He's my old rapping professor from West Virginia Bible Tech and one day I asked him if he was notable enough for a Wikipedia article and he told me to stop talking so he could go back to sleep. Lord   Bromblemore  18:36, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete Andy Borowitz writes a humor section for the New Yorker. The article was a satire. The reason there's no other sources for him is that he was made up for a joke. Y'all are silly.--Yaksar (let's chat) 23:07, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect and merge to Andy Borowitz thanks for researching the Borowitz column, which i was too lazy to do. Seriously, its made up? I guess its too close to the truth to notice. as a fake story, it definitely doesnt deserve an article. a line at his article might be nice, as the story seemed to have been picked up by some as serious. good job, andy.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:53, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
