Baby Ranks

Non-notable artist, per WP:MUSIC. This page has been deleted at least twice, along with the article for his only album. Please add salt. SummerPhD (talk) 18:02, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I found this over on Google News, but my Spanish isn't up to par relevant? Burzmali (talk) 19:50, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That looks like a useful third-party review. I'm not sure if it's enough to save the article, though. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 19:56, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it's relevant. Primera Hora is roughly like the New York Post for Puerto Rico, not the newspaper of record, but a top seller and clearly reliable. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 06:01, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: recreated article, non-notable as per WP:MUSIC. JamesBurns (talk) 06:57, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The album, for which he gets co-billing with Luny Tunes, Mas Flow 2, was reviewed in The New York Times, was one of the top charting Latin albums of the year, and a single from it won him a Billboard Latin Music Award. I suspect those things were not noted on the previous version of the article, but I've now reliably sourced them. All of the sources I added confirm that Baby Ranks has co-billing. It's a keep.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Strong Keep - He is notable as per WP:MUSIC - if winning in the Billboard Latin Music Awards doesn't meet #8, what does? That said, he meets other notability criteria for Puerto Rico, a distinct musical market than the USA regardless of the political relationship. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 05:55, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, passes WP:MUSIC#C2 as well [1]. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 06:13, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
