Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mr. Criminal (2nd Nomination)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. Consensus is that the article cannot meet Verifiability. Both the keep and delete reasoning agree that more sources are needed, but consensus is that there are no more sources such that the article cannot meet Verifiability. The keep arguments regarding importance/significance do not aid in determining whether the article can meet Verifiability. -- Jreferee t/c 15:22, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mr. Criminal (2nd Nomination)

Mr. Criminal (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Never heard of this rapper. No WP:SOURCES, very little context (not much more than a discography, still haven't heard of most of what's on there, probably fails WP:MUSIC) . Might be notable if the article can pass WP:V, although right now I'm leaning towards delete. Rackabello 20:19, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Apparently this is a repost. Rackabello 20:26, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nomination, except for the "never heard of" part. WP:IHEARDOFIT (or haven't) are arguments to avoid, but the verifiability issue is a serious enough problem. Burntsauce 21:56, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep According to AMG, Mr. Criminal has produced 5 albums for Thump Records, a notable label. He has also charted (though not well) on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts.--Sethacus 03:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Sethacus, appears to be verifiably notable per AMG with Billboard charting releases. RFerreira 22:18, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless sources are added to meet the verifiability policy. --Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 18:00, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Just needs a few clean up otherwise it should be kept. West Coast Ryda 17:14, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep as notable and verifiable, but we need more sources per WP:BLP. Bearian 14:27, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
