Snak the Ripper[edit]

BLP without reliable sources for an eminently non-notable MySpace rapper, to borrow another hip-hop fan's phrase. Drmies (talk) 18:54, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no significant coverage I can find. --Nuujinn (talk) 18:57, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Well, he's from my hometown so I've definitely heard of him. I just don't believe he's reached the level of notability yet to warrant his own Wikipedia article, this is an encyclopedia not a music directory or promotional venue. Most underground rappers popular locally and on the internet just don't stand up to the criteria laid out in WP:MUSICBIO. There's literally hundreds of popular underground rappers in Canada, if anyone from the Stompdown crew should have an article its Caspian, at least he's signed to a major independent label, and all he gets is a brief mention in that label's article. But Snak the Ripper does have talent and I wouldn't be surprised if, given time, he does become notable enough. -- œ^™ 19:14, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as article fails notability criteria for rappers. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 01:52, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and keep on watchlists for possible recreation, salting if necessary. Older versions of article were quite promotional, suggesting of COI. I cleaned up most of it. 67.119.12.29 (talk) 03:37, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
