Delete - Stumbled across this little gem this morning. Rapper without an album, on a small label. The website for Supreme Records didn't show this guy as a signed artist. I couldn't find any albums by this individual on the major CD distributors' web sites. An anonymous IP has pared down the article, but apparently the legions of Divine fans have yet to repair the article to its previous version that mentioned Rakim and Nas so many times that I forgot who the article was about. There is a claim about reaching the top of the college charts, but no real reference - just a link to the main page of 2 hip-hop sites, and the burden is on the articles creator to show the reference, not on me to track it down. Meets none of the criteria for notability for musicians. Nobunaga24 (talk) 00:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- A7 He hit two indie charts that don't have pages, and released albums on non-notable labels. No assertation of notability that I see. So tagged. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:31, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: "A7" stipulates "no claim of notability;" I wanted to A7 it myself, but the mere reasonable claim invalidates the CSD; so we have to prove the claim or delete through here. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 02:25, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think that charting on college charts is an assertation of notability. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:48, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete concur about lack of established notability; needs WP:RS indicating such. JJL (talk) 02:11, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
