I still confirm my PROD "Nothing convincing for his own notability and substance, no chartings or anything at all, listed sources are either simply for listings or interviews, simply nothing actually convincing at all; searches haven't found anything noticeably better.". but it was actually past PRODed by Joseph2302 so here we are at AfD.

  • Sources He's young, pop singers usually are but he is getting coverage. Sources: New YOrk Daily News describes him as an "up-and-coming rapper" [1], Newsday [2]. Here's Newsday Wyandanch to host 'Village Vibes' free concert series: King Myers[3] describing him as a "rising star" - granted, he's a local boy. And HipHopDX is all over this kid. I'd like to have someone who edits pop music weigh in.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:56, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Still none of it is actually suggestive of finally and convincingly establishing his own independent notability. SwisterTwister talk 07:10, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment -- Is MTV listing considered as part of sources: MTV? K.e.coffman (talk) 06:50, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This is way too soon. The NYDailyNews is the best source we can get. The Newsday is a local source and a trivial mention talking about a rescheduling of a concern - there's hardly anything about the subject itself. The MTV source mentioned by K.e.coffman is a WP:USERGENERATED source and essentially a directory listing (See disclaimer below This site contains content from artists, fans, and writers from around the internet in it's natural form. Such content is not representative of Viacom Media Networks.. Overall, this is just WP:TOOSOON and a clear delete. I see this essentially as a promotional page for an upcoming artist. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 00:01, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:TOOSOON; the subject is not yet notable per available sources. When RS take note of the subject's career, an article can be created. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:17, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
