Delete - Charitably, it is too soon for an article on this rapper. His side project FREEWIFI has gotten a few media mentions, and as an individual he has been listed briefly in a few reliable articles about SXSW and his local scene. Unfortunately there is not enough specifically about him and his music beyond brief mentions, and all else found is the typical streaming and social media stuff. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:50, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There are a lot of reliable sources that mention Daddy Dinero and FREEWIFI. Also, FREEWIFI is a popular Hip Hop group in Minnesota. The article has been edited and sourced with more credible articles. Spotifeyed (talk) 16:03, 1 August 2019 (UTC)— Spotifeyed (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete Per WP:TOOSOON. Source deficiencies noted so far are spot on, including “coverage” in sources of the like of upcominghiphop.net (just to pluck one out of the batch) that are not reliable, per this [1] on how to use their site "so that you look professional on line". FWIW, musician appearances at South by Southwest is not the significant thing it was perhaps 10 or more years ago. These days it is a sprawling, region-wide event with hundreds—if not thousands—of musicians (among others), and unless you are an invited featured guest, coverage at such is less significant towards notability and more towards WP:ROUTINE. It’s the notability equivalent of being an exhibitor at a trade show. A redirect to FREEWIFI might be appropriate, but no such article yet exits, providing it, too, can pass notability criteria beyond the sorts here.

@ShelbyMarion: Thank you for the clarification to help me improve this article. So by creating an article about "FREEWIFI" and redirecting it back to the members "Daddy Dinero" and "J. Plaza" Wikipedia articles, it would improve the credibility of the current "Daddy Dinero" article? (Similar to the Migos and members Quavo, Offset (rapper), and Takeoff (rapper)) Spotifeyed (talk) 21:28, 1 August 2019 (UTC)— Spotifeyed (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Actually, what I mean is that an article on FREEWIFI, providing it has good references, would probably suffice as the proper place on Wikipedia for both its members if it turns out that neither Daddy Dinero or J.Plaza can be proven to have stand alone notability. As it is right now, this article, Daddy Dinero, is coming up short unless better sources can be produced. Good luck, and maybe it's just a matter of this artists career growing a bit more for such sources to materialize. That's what is meant by WP:TOOSOON.

Comment There is a startling lack of unreliable sources here. Trillfendi (talk) 00:21, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Good example showing that just because an article has a lot of sources, doesn't mean it's well-sourced. At best, too soon. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 00:28, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
