Hot Rod (rapper)[edit]

Subject does not meet guidelines for notability per WP:MUSIC -Nv8200p talk 12:51, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Agree with nom, fails WP:MUSIC. A single album is in the works but not yet released, and WP:MUSIC requires at least two albums. Jayden54 13:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Doesn't appear to pass WP:MUSIC. Should the album article be AfD, too? -- Mikeblas 13:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'm sure he will be vaguely famous in future but until then this page officially fails WP:MUSIC. Debaser23 14:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. --Nlu (talk) 12:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. —ShadowHalo 23:30, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Although a member of G-Unit, this artist is not notable at the moment. I'm sorry people, I with NIu on this one. Too many people ruin Wikipedia with fan based information. LILVOKA 23:45, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - C'mon, I hear his single all the time on my radio station, MusicChoice, and BET! Plus, he's signed to Interscope. Jayden54, by your logic, Chris Brown, Yung Joc, and Ne-Yo should also be deleted (they only have one album). And by everyone else's logic, Spider Loc should be deleted. The point is, give him a chance, and he will surprise you all. Tom Danson 21:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Chris Brown had a #1 hit on the Billboard chart (Criterion #2). Yung Joc's album was certified platinum by the RIAA (Criterion #3). Ne-Yo had a #1 hit on the Billboard chart (Criterion #2). Spider Loc received coverage from several non-trivial works independent from him (Criterion #1). So all of these pass WP:MUSIC. Hot Rod, regardless of the quality of his music, does not appear to pass WP:MUSIC. Keep in mind, Wikipedia can't make articles based on the quality of the subject since that would go against WP:NPOV. —ShadowHalo 22:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Does this article pass any of the other criteria? Has he had a #1 hit? An award? Gone on an international tour? I just mentioned the two albums criteria, because it's usually the most common criteria, but this singer doesn't seem to pass any of the other criteria of WP:MUSIC.
