The Verbal Surgeon

No indicatiobn of meeting notability guidelines at WP:MUSICBIO. References given are eithr not independent of the subject or are trivial. Disputed prod. Google searches find nothing that would indicate notability. noq (talk) 12:51, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment If you google search "The Verbal Surgeon Hip Hop" dozens of sites will come up with content on the artist. If you look around certain sites you will see his independent fan base is growing throughout the US.Also if you reset your search filter on google images to normal instead of filtering for "images for reuse" you'll find there is small coverage on the artist. I searched numerous independent artists on google images with your filter settings and nothing came up. Without filtering anything on google images, things seem to work as they should. WP:ARTIST,WP:CREATIVE WP:CHANCE Give the article time to grow and develop. Heaveninsideyourhell (talk) 13:37, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Meets WP:ARTIST WP:CREATIVE WP:CHANCE criteria. Heaveninsideyourhell (talk) 15:13, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment WP:ARTIST and WP:CREATIVE are the same link, WP:CHANCE is not a notability guideline. How exactly does it meet WP:ARTIST. How does it meet the more appropriate WP:MUSICBIO guidelines? noq (talk) 15:38, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete the citations in the article are nothing but track listings, which are not enough to build an article on. There are no hits on Google News. The best I could find were things like Facebook and MySpace, which are not to be used as sources. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 17:54, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
