 * Delete, see all those "N/A" in the discography section? Also, there are a lot of unfounded statements in here which makes it read more like a press release than an encyclopædia article ("His clever lyricism and tongue-twisting style immediately endeared T-Rock to fans all over the south. Widely regarded as one of the best lyricists to ever grace a Three-Six Mafia track, his appearances were partly responsible for the platinum successes of two albums and the sale of hundreds of thousands of other albums..).

 * Keep . The article's a mess (especially now that all but the discography has been removed), but he still appears to meet WP:MUSIC. According to AMG, his album Rock Solid/4:20 charted on two of Billboard's charts (Independent Albums and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums). I'm going to see whether I can clean this up a bit and make it a workable stub, though rap really isn't my forte. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:04, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Changing to Neutral. I can't find enough verifiable info to expand the article to even a reasonable stub. I've got his AMG bio, a couple press releases, and this article in the SF Chronicle, which briefly references him opening for Dan the Automator on a tour. That's a good thing, notability-wise, but I'm not sure that we should have an article on a modern artist if we can't find sourced info for stuff like his real name or year of birth. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:33, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
