The Truth (UK Asian Rapper)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Dubious notability, sources are incidental coverage. Deprodded because "it looks fine". Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:34, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions.  —Tom Morris (talk) 21:54, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Changes have been made, references have been removed that 'seem' to promote musician and replaced with an independant article and also added more information, such as Best Urban Act Award at Brit Asia Awards 2011.

 * Comment. He has featured on at least two BBC radio shows, and there is this article from the Manchester Evening News website, which looks suspiciously like it was taken from a press release. Possibly bordering on having enough real world notability for inclusion, but unless more can be found we don't have enough on which to base an article.--Michig (talk) 18:51, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

He has also featured at Glastonbury 2011 on the BBC Introducing Stage and BBC Introducing Stage at London Mela   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.209.104.118 (talk) 21:08, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
