Singer who died young. No references and I cant find any trace of what is claimed to be his famous song "Bounce Ya on My Pole". Rathfelder (talk) 14:31, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete most of the sources on him (using both real and stage names) seem to be copied from Wikipedia, and looking up his “hit” song gets nothing but random pole dancing -related videos and porn. The supposed involvement with Boyz II Men either went something like BRINGERS OF DARKNESS “opening” for Metallica or didn’t happen at all. Could possibly even be speedy deleted as a hoax.

Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Hoax or not, there's absolutely nothing on the internet about him from anything resembling a reliable source. The IP who created the article was warned several times and blocked regarding their edits. Richard3120 (talk) 19:31, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per arguments provided above. The article does not satisfy any notability criteria whatsoever. Myxomatosis57 (talk) 12:12, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and send to the hoax museum. If deleted and proven as a hoax, it would be the longest-lasting hoax on the English Wikipedia, existing since June 3, 2005. wizzito | say hello! 23:22, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
