Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. The brief text provided reads like it's been copied straight from a press release, and the one source is a short interview from his local "what's on" listings magazine (archived here [1]) and I haven't found anything better. Doesn't appear to have been updated in almost ten years, probably because there's nothing to update – as far as I can tell, all he's released since his album Celebration (which has already been PRODded by another editor) is a compilation album and three mixtapes all entitled Bread Crumbs, none of which have received any coverage at all in reliable sources. Just about the most recent thing I have found is a brief promotion for a 2017 video on a non-RS site which STILL calls him an up-and-coming artist, after more than a decade of making music [2].

Delete, appears to be one of the hundreds of newish rappers signed by major labels then left to languish in obscurity/album purgatory, which is unfortunate for them but still results in obscurity. News searching is full of false positives but I haven't found any coverage from rap publications. Gnomingstuff (talk) 20:39, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gnomingstuff's explanation of this article has me cracking up. Anyway, delete. versacespace talk to me 02:12, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Even back in 2004, a rapper should have known to choose a name that is more Google-able. Even with targeted searches like <"Glory" + "rapper" + "Celebration" + "Giddeon"> I can find nothing beyond a few leftover social media posts and streaming entries. He was up-and-coming for a few minutes, down-and-out for 17 years and counting. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:35, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Doomsdayer520: but I guess it's not as self-aggrandizing to choose another name... Richard3120 (talk) 14:49, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As per all above. Cuoxo (talk) 16:44, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
