The result was Keep, establishes basic notability; appeared on a famous artist's mixtape. Also, as pointed out, could use some time for sourcing. I'd support a relisting for deletion if the article's deficiencies are unaddressed after a few months. GlassCobra 17:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable rapper, article is sorely lacking references. Artist has released mixtapes but no actual albums, no hit singles. Fails WP:MUSIC. If artist becomes notable some day in the future, article can easily be re-created. Precious Roy (talk) 21:15, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Keep - if claims in the article can be backed, this is worth an article --T-rex 00:24, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- weak Keep - there is reporting that mentions the subject of the article, and there is indication of notability but more substantial references would help. A quick google news search found this article from the Washinton Post and this article from the Malaysia Star. There are others. Article tagged with refimprove sinde December 2007 so give it some time to be worked on-- Whpq (talk) 16:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment None of these is the non-trivial coverage required to meet WP:MUSIC. Precious Roy (talk) 16:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply I agree that the sources are bit on the thin side. The article was tagged only last month for improvement on references. So based on what can be found with a cursory search, and lack of time for additional references for improvement, I figure that there is the possibility for this article to be sourceable. Thay why I'm a weak keep with the emphasis on weak. -- Whpq (talk) 19:04, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
