Notability of this article is in question. –BuickCenturyDriver 22:38, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - unsourced article, it's difficult to find online sources when the subject is called 'Tremendous'! The claims to notability are very slim. If someone can show he meets WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC I'll happily change my 'vote'. Sionk (talk) 00:39, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete absolutely no evidence of notability that I can find.JoelWhy (talk) 12:23, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - lack of sources is the real killer, though I feel the main claims to fame - being a regular sidekick to Big Mike and featuring on a Top 20 album in 1997 - probably isn't quite enough to satisfy the GNG even if it were immaculately sourced. ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ talk 10:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - The talk page for the article claims he "is an instrumental pioneer in the Houston Music Scene, and has been so for over 10 years" which would qualify him for inclusion under point 7 of WP:NMUSIC. However, there are no sources that I could find to back up that assertion. -- Whpq (talk) 16:29, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Do Not Delete -the sources are mostly real world,although the subject has more web presence than acts he was associated with who are more popular. I think the real problem stems from the fact that the subject went by III (Tre') from 1997 until 2002,when he under went a name change to avoid being confused with Trae the Truth from the same city. More importantly,he has started releasing albums in 2011 through IODA's digital distribution. Also, in regards to Notability-there are quite a few External Links on his page, as well as credit given to him under his birth name AND Tre'mendous on the page of the subjects he was associated with.I believe he is a worthy addition to the wikipedia database. -- MK Menyet — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.108.181.248 (talk) 17:54, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * ''' Do Not Delete -the sources that back up his involvement in the local Houston Music scene are other wikipedia articles that weren't challenged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MK Menyet (talk • contribs) 18:25, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - What is needed are reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and so it cannot be used to verify information or establish notability.  What is needed is coverage in newspapers or magazines that would back up the assertion that he is a key figure in the Houston music scene. -- Whpq (talk) 19:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment -- There is not only a link to an 2010 interview on the articles page, there is proof that the subject is an active musician with a lengthy professional songwriting and production portfolio (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:29, 13 April 2012 (UTC).
 *  Do Not Delete  -there are substantial references to the subjects notability from reliable sources in the article now. MK Menyet (talk) 23:39, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
