The result was KEEP. No consensus to delete. Sufficient sources now cited to need no further AfD nomination (IMO). Kim Dent-Brown ^(Talk) 17:46, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feloni[edit]

Detroit rapper. Two prior nominations were closed early, but consensus at deletion review was to give this full consideration, as some editors thought the sources brought up to support notability were trivial. So here it is, procedural nomination, I have no opionion ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 14:51, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notability established with reliable sources. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 00:09, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning Keep Now that the DRV has established that this will get a full, fair shake, I would like to see this article expanded before the end of this AfD. I do think the links provided, especially after a brief cleanup, now establish basic notability as an independednt artist. By the way my Google-fu only produced a monthly award from Broadjam, not the "grand prize" that was initially claimed. -- RoninBK _{T C} 17:09, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning Delete - I'm only seeing one "significant coverage in a reliable source independent of the subject", that being the Real Detroit Weekly article. Notability is established with multiple RSs. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 17:58, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The Detroit Weekly is the first source and GO Magazine is the second source. Both have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy per WP:RS.--brew crewer (yada, yada) 15:50, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete She's close, I'd say VERY close to me saying keep, but there just isn't enough RS YET for me to say so. Wildthing61476 (talk) 22:38, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete Does not appear to pass WP:MUSIC as written. There's a couple of "almosts" in there, but it's just not enough. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:02, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- She actually meets the first criteria: "has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable". --brew crewer (yada, yada) 15:52, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Please, a lesbian rapper? In an industry known for misogyny and homophobia. Article should be developed and sourced (perhaps lesbian magazines and newspapers - just a hunch) should be sought out. I wouldn't expect google news to pop much as with many LGBT people but this seems like a good lead. Benji boi 12:40, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. 2nd album has been named and slated for 2008. Benji boi 17:20, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable outside a restricted "rap community." -RiverHockey (talk) 22:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Which in other words makes her notable per Wikipedia notability standards. If she is notable within the rap community (which although me and you might not like, is still substantial) then she is notable. Besides, the reliable sources provided attest to notability in the gay community, the Detroit community etc.....--brew crewer (yada, yada) 02:23, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
