[edit] Papoose (rapper)

Non-notable article, probable vanity. Google search turns up some related links but nothing displaying any modicum of notablity. Doesn't meet WP:MUSIC or WP:BIO standards. May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 08:08, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Meets WP:MUSIC - both on "Has been prominently featured in any major music media", and "Has won or placed a major music competition". See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Papoose (which is just below). Proto t c 14:26, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - I already voted keep on this one. LOL. This is a bit confusing. Can we just speedy keep both of them and then deal with the articles to avoid confusion? Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 16:39, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • PS Here is what I wrote there (although this article has less in it than the Papoose one did). - he has an allmusic.com entry. His "notable song", "Alphabetical Slaughter" has hundreds of google hits: [1]. He's been talked about a fair bit too, including on message boards [2], hip hop communities [3], and has almost 50 singles released [4]. He has also won Justo's Award for Mixtape Artist of the Year in 2004, hence meeting another requirement of WP:MUSIC, as featured on MTV [5]. He meets the notability requirements quite comfortably.

• Comment - I re-added a lot of the stuff that was previously at Papoose (before that article was made to be about Papoose the thing rather than Papoose the rapper), because the original Papoose article had a lot more info than the rapper article. I have also added the references, including his 50-part discography and him receiving the MTV award. Considering the other names at that MTV award, and considering its MTV, I think it is safe to say that that counts as a major award.

• Keep. Seems to satisfy notability requirements. -Colin Kimbrell 17:53, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
