Ab-Soul[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A rapper. He has released two mixtapes and just released one album on the independent label, Top Dawg Entertainment. Be careful of the references. For example, the reference titled, "Reputable source for artist interviews" is a blog site and "Music Record Label" is to a YouTube video. Only reliable reference is to a LA Times blog about the group he is with. Bgwhite (talk) 05:36, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no reliable source to indicate notability. UncommonlySmooth (talk) 01:55, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Weak delete. Non-notable per lack of RS's, but there could be room for improvement. That Ole Cheesy Dude ^{(Talk to the hand!)} 00:43, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. I couldn't verify notability of Ab-Soul from independent secondary sources, but it may be possible to merge the articles for Ab-Soul plus the other members of his group (Black Hippy) into a single article with sufficient notability for the group as a whole.
