 * Keep - passes on significant coverage. There's a bio and 3 reviews at allmusic, a dusted review, a Montreal Mirror review, a review in German magazine Skug, and that's just from Googling one of his albums.--Michig (talk) 06:31, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Reviews above don't seem to have much to say besides that he is a rapper with "ideas". They do not provide encyclopedic content on which to base an article. Links currently in article go back to his personal pages. Potatoswatter (talk) 07:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Did you see the allmusic bio? It is also included in the book All Music Guide to Hip-hop . The Illness also makes #29 in Piero Scaruffi's "Best hip-hop albums of all times" . There's also a bio on Scaruffi's site . There's plenty out there to justify an article.--Michig (talk) 07:58, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. I have expanded the article with more than adeqaute sources. Maybe the Delete !voters would like to take another look.--Michig (talk) 08:50, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Allmusic alone is comprehensive and reliable enough for our purposes. the skomorokh  14:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Added references from the Baltimore CityPaper about his movie Crooked and am adding more citations and references now. He seems to be a prolific artist/entrepreneur and there are several articles out there on him and his work, unfortunately most from smaller publications.--Feddx (talk) 15:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
