I was trying to wikify this, but I have been unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources. There are some blog matches, and some PR-type info, but I cannot find evidence of notability per WP:BIO, WP:NMUSIC, WP:GNG.  Chzz  ►  03:42, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently Billboard.biz is the site to look at for sales charts... unfortunately it needs a subscription. A screen grab isn't a particularly useful substitute. Catfish Jim & the soapdish 12:34, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Weak keep, appears to satisfy the relevant criteria (perhaps 2, 7). We should be able to construct an article out of the few sources that are available. Blurpeace 08:35, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - this must surely be salvageable, just a case of someone finding someone who has a subscription to Billboard.biz, and / or any other verification. Pesky (talk) 10:19, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Can you find 'em? 'coz I can't. So are you suggesting we keep this, on the off-chance that one day, someone might be able to show evidence of notability? Chzz  ►  14:49, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ack! You horror, you! You're trying the 'obsessive' button out again, aren't you? I probably could find something, but it's far from being my area, and I certainly can't get anything within a tight deadline. Who do you know who has this subject as their area? They'll be more likely to (a) know where to look, and (b) maybe have subscriptions to the right kinds of pages. (Ball back in your court, fella, lol!) Pesky (talk) 04:18, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'll leave a message at WT:WPMU, it's not too improbable some members of the project might have a subscription to the website. Acather96 (talk) 07:31, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If he charted, it is definitely not #7 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Neither Allmusic nor Billboard has any mention of a charting. Billboard.biz does list a few extra charts (eg Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles) so I'll ask User:Legolas2186 to pop in here (he has a sub). Adabow (talk · contribs) 06:36, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – I was asked by Adabow to look at billboard.biz for Young Ro, however, every chart I searched by his tag lists Chamillionaire or some group. Is he related to them? I have no idea. If so, his own article seems not to pass WP:N. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:56, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
