This article is about a non-notable rapper where most of sources are buzz and are blogs or news in brief. It fails WP:MUSIC and WP:IMPORTANCE. --Yann98 (talk) 00:01, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep I'm no judge on the music aspect, but he got a response from Mitterand, and the stunt with Orsenna attracted mainstream media comment (Libération and L'Express). Probably enough for notability. Mcewan (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Morsay has no true purpose in having a Wikipedia article. The article fails WP:Importance in that he his notability is for a small non-notable event that fed the media for a short period of time before being expelled out. What I find most ridiculous is that this article still exists. The article has been deleted multiple times on the French Wikipedia, where the controversy surrounding Morsay took place. Furthermore, referring to him a musician but lacking a discography is confusing and quite simply wrong. I therefore must conclude that I believe this article should be deleted due to the fact that he is not notable enough to require a Wikipedia article. --Cawhee (talk) 23:29, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Cawhee. The presence or absence of an article on another wiki doesn't necessarily confirm notability one way or another, but in this case if france doesn't consider him notable I really don't see why we would. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:26, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
