[edit] Mocha (rapper)
Contested prod. A rapper who made a few guest appearances on other people's songs in the late 90s (one uncredited), released a couple of singles which didn't chart and has one self-released (online) album to her name. Has also written a couple of small-press books, which I have been unable to locate coverage of in anything resembling a reliable source (a Google search for her pen name, 'AJ Rivers' returns only online sales sites and online catalogues). Fails WP:MUSIC. Article is also completely unreferenced and filled with rumours and conjecture, for which I have been unable to find any reliable online sources to confirm.

- I searched with various combinations of "Mocha" and her other name on Google News archives and in a library database of newspaper and magazine articles and found no sources. There are a few hits when combining "Mocha" and "Missy Elliott", but these mention Mocha only in passing. Delete unless sources are forthcoming by the end of this deletion discussion. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 23:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Article fails WP:MUSIC, WP:NN, plus there is little-to-no coverage in reliable sources. Cloudz679 (talk) 07:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Weak delete Has charted two singles, but only as a guest rapper on a couple songs. Given the lack of sources, she doesn't seem to be notable outside of those two minor guest apperances. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 13:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
