Al Basics

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article about a rapper/poet does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability. There has been a {{notability}} tag on it since July 2009. I found one interview and added it to the article, but there's very little out there. Google search for "Al Basics" -wikipedia brings up a lot of pages but the few that are relevant are trivial mentions. ... discospinster _talk 22:09, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - He has no coverage in reliable sources. The Latino Hip Hop interview is not what I'd call a reliable source. It's essentially the work of "Cristopolis is a Latino Hip-Hop artist based out of Washington, DC, who fuses Latino rhythms & Hip-Hop with positive lyrics focusing on personal development." and is his blog. -- Whpq (talk) 16:09, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:MUSICBIO. All I can find on Google are the usual suspects: his official website, Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:39, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
