Young Sid

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is about a non-notable subject and is written like a press release, with no third-party sources. Also conflict of interest, since the account that posted the article was created only to advertise the artist and the eponymous record label. Beemer 69  chitchat  02:43, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep meets WP:MUSIC for a charting album, at #27. Ref's have now been added to article. While I agree with the massive WP:COI concern, that isn't a reason for deletion, it's just a referencing issue. If this article survives AfD, I'll go over the grammar issues with some mustard too.

 * Keep. Sunday Star-Times calls him 'New Zealand's biggest hip-hop success story since Scribe', and there are other articles here and here. Needs a major rewrite, but that's a reason to fix it, not delete it. --Helenalex (talk) 05:58, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment I've overhauled the article by replacing old content with new material and integrated references. The page is now shorter in length and open to expansion. Previously-tagged version of the article was copied virtually word-for-word from outside sources. Beemer 69   chitchat  07:42, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per charting album, sources, notable guest appearances, and generally passing WP:MUSIC.  tomasz.  16:01, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
