The result was delete. as accepted by the contributor.  DGG ( talk ) 00:20, 27 May 2017 (UTC) Okay. Just delete it. It was my first article and I thought it was worth a shot but I guess this rapper isn't quite famous enough yet. My bad just delete it so you can all move on to articles of actual importance. I wasn't trying to do something wrong... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbauer18 (talk • contribs) 21:26, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Truett McKeehan (TRU)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable musician - can find no coverage in RS beyond being a notable person's son. Fails WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG. I also searched under TruDog but unless he also has side business for doggy dental spray, there's no coverage there either. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  14:19, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I nominated for speedy but it was rejected because "Being signed to a notable label indicates importance/significance", yet he's not signed to any label and the article's creator incorrectly added labels to the infobox (among other issues). I proded, but the article creator (against policy) de-proded and wiped out a template on my talk page and added a comment at the top of the article (showing once again that the creator has no clue) that the subject has worked on a song other than his father's and he wasn't trying to break Wikipedia guidelines. In short, there are not reliable sources to support the subject's notability. Subject currently fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Isn't signed to a label and has not released any works of his own, let alone has any charting works. He has been mentioned on his father's article and until the subject is notable, that's where all discussion should remain. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:36, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Slight nitpick: the creator of an article CAN remove PRODs, but not speedy tags. Jclemens (talk) 16:17, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge to TobyMac until and unless independent notability is demonstrated. Jclemens (talk) 02:25, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nominator's rationale. While a redirect seems plausible, we already have four redirects for Truett, including, so this combination of various disambiguators is rather unnecessary as a redir. Primefac (talk) 15:13, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
