Nothing here establishes the notability of the subject. Was previously prodded and then undeleted when contested but the article has not improved. SQGibbon (talk) 16:18, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as article fails notability criteria for rappers. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  21:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: It's the first Albanian hip hop musician. Very notable in the Albanian music world. The article is a mess, completely unreferenced, but as far as notability is concerned I don't see ANY problem with him. --  S ulmues (talk) 02:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: There are still no reliable sources establishing the notability of the subject. Given that this is also a BLP then we especially need to be careful of that. SQGibbon (talk) 14:00, 7 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep: While the article is a real mess, I'll try to find some sources and reference the article. Cheers. —  Kedadi  talk  22:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: Just google the man, there's over 2 million results on him, or youtube him he has millions of plays. He is a representative of a specific rap style noone has ever done in Kosovo. His songs and albums have been topping the charts in Kosovo and Albania for a few years now. His last event in Frauenfeld Switzerland had close to 5000 people present (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwmzOCcrsso) hear them chant "Unikkatil", thats huge for someone who's not even an international star. Do your research before questioning his notability please, allthough the article is pretty bad i will also try to help on improving it. He is easily one of the most powerful musicians in Kosovo and has a huge following. His name at least deserves to stand if not the article. JoeTBA (talk) 11:27, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I went through the first three pages on Google and did not find any reliable sources that establish his notability. He certainly has an online presence but that's not enough by itself to establish notability.  Heck, I'll even grant that he is notable in general (i.e., not in the Wikipedia sense) but that's not even the point.  We have to find reliable sources that talk about him otherwise the entire thing is  original research.  As the article stands now everything except the first line should be deleted since none of it is sourced.  This is Wikpedia policy especially when it comes to biographies of living people.

 * Comment: Guys i found a reliable source just now, which is Gazeta Express, one of the biggest newspapers in Kosovo. Won't be the last either i am sure i can find much more. Searched for him on their site there was a few useful articles. http://www.gazetaexpress.com/web/index.php?/kerko/df2d90a67d3533a6156530452d68fbc1/ . However, as i stated before i am new to Wiki and i dont know how to add references, help please lol. JoeTBA (talk) 08:42, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
