I apologize if this seems like a cleanup-AfD, but I'm not an expert on the topic at all. At least my google-search gave me a barrage of sources that I cannot evaluate for WP:RS. Bottom-line is, this thing has been tagged as unreferenced (BLP) since 2008 and no-one seems to have cared. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 09:57, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, I'm on the way to bed, but a quick search found lots of sources. It appears this article just needs some major cleanup, wikification, and work. Bhockey10 (talk) 10:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. I can't find much information about this person, but when this article was up for speedy deletion a couple of years ago, I did find this article which I added as a reference to indicate that there is some substance to the article. The article may need to be cut down to limit the content to what can be reliably sourced. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:59, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:05, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The subject clearly appears notable, but with no references to back up any of the claims made, such as "branding" hip hop and R&B stars and being a consultant to "award shows." Article is in terrible shape for Wikipedia and will need a monumental effort at cleanup to keep. Notability does not appear to be an issue, however there are no verifiable sources listed to prove such claims. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 02:01, 4 July 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares[reply]
Delete ArticleThis is not a poorly-sourced article rather it is an article that lacks sourcing at all. The one reference supplied is weak at best and doesn't offer much in confirming any of the claims for the subject of this article. Looking at some of the information athletic information, I was able to confirm that some of the accomplishments listed in regards to the subject are untrue and am more than willing to post for reference. So if the authors of this article stand by these claims, they need to provide valid sources that back them up.Analyzerwiki 01 (talk) 02:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If no improvement takes place bringing the article up to Wiki standards. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 00:28, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares[reply]
