Non-notable individual lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. Appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. ttonyb (talk) 15:18, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:MUSIC. Not even an album yet. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:25, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. No RS, no notability (except by association, which doesn't count). Jimmy Pitt talk 16:54, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable artist, not even any albums or significant coverage. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 ^(Contact) 17:52, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Im sorry but once again here it is.

4. Has received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.T-Pain tour with DJ Lil Boy in Australia. (http://www.b105.com.au/entertainment/music/galleries/akon-t-pain-2009-australian-tour?selectedImage=8) Major Australian radio station.

6. Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles. DJ Lil boy is part of the performance of T-Pain. (http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=2R2y6cj4cjM) This is an example of a performance.

11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network. DJ Lil boy is on the roster of Blazin 102.3 (http://www.blazin1023.com/airstaff/ http://www.blazin1023.com/airstaff/programming.php) Nappy boy radio which was made famous by the song Chris Brown feat T-Pain - Kiss kiss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCYlNHLG0Cg) Nappy boy radio(http://www.nappyboyradiolive.com/djs)

DJ Lil boy has released Mixtapes with T-Pain which are albums but not for sale. DJ Lil boy is an essential part of T-Pains act, also the hip hop community in Florida and has earned credit based on his own merit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobbybobbie (talk • contribs) 18:14, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pr33 Ringz (http://www.realraptalk.com/f18/pr33-ringz-t-pain-dj-lil-boy-explicit-rs-213564/) Much like DJ Drama who is on here Lil boy host and produces mixtapes for Nappy Boy Record artists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobbybobbie (talk • contribs) 18:19, 23 September 2010 (UTC) *Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 18:47, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Good try, but not quite.

4 - This hardly constitutes "non-trivial" coverage. Not even close.

6 - Being part of the performance is not part of a group. This article is about an individual, not a group.

11 - A single station is not a national network – nation network means multiple station throughout the nation. He is only played on a single station, probably because he is a DJ on the station. ttonyb (talk) 19:02, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Doesn't look notable to me on the basis of the article. Touring with, being part of the act of, and making unreleased albums with do not necessarily confer notability. (Side note: Nappy Boy in British English means a kid in a diaper - might cause amusement if he comes over here.) Peridon (talk) 18:55, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non-Notable artist. No third party reliable sources. --Alpha Quadrant ^talk 19:32, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The mixtapes that he prodouces / hosts / djs such as "Pr33 ringz" are known worldwide! Such as other famous DJs that are deemed notable. As stated in the article this is what he is best known for. This is an unequivocal fact! These are major mixtapes with and for major artists not something that is done on a small scale. If other DJs are notable for their mixtapes then I do not see any valid reason as to why DJ Lil Boy should be deemed otherwise.

The is written to in an educational / informative manner. DJs are known for their solo performances, production work, and mixtapes. The mixtape culture is a very important part of hip hop culture and a key marketing tool. There are articles that have been writen for wikipedia which you may want to take a look at (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixtape#Mixtapes_in_hip_hop) After this the album release of Th33 ringz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Ringz (See performance)

The deletion of this article would set the precedant to delete articles of other DJs that have pages on wikipedia. It doesnt make sence...

I do apologize Tony that was a bad link, my mistake. DJ Lil Boy is hired also by other notable artists due to his own notability. Here is a link to an upcoming tour that he is doing with Lupe Fiasco (http://events.godanriver.com/winstonsalem-nc/events/show/137160545-lupe-fiasco-and-dj-lil-boy) Bobbybobbie (talk) 22:59, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"The deletion of this article would set the precedant [sic] to delete articles of other DJs" - if they are not truly notable then they should go. Then the "Fred Bloggovitch is a footballer" (end of story) ones can go too.... (Sorry - personal gripe.) Peridon (talk) 20:23, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I also agree but I was talking about DJs that are notable and have been an impact on the DJ scene. DJ Lil Boy is a huge part of the mixtape industry in Hip Hop. 110.20.25.71 (talk) 06:29, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
