- Delete fails to establish how the WP:MUSIC standard is met. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 15:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. There does appear to really be any secondary coverage and nothing suggests that the artist meets WP:MUSIC. SorryGuy Talk 19:36, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Delete, doesn't seem to meet WP:MUSIC. Lankiveil (complaints | disco) 04:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC).
- Delete per the nomination, doesn't quite match up with WP:MUSIC at this time. (jarbarf) (talk) 08:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

- Comment—I added one reference, but there will need to be more than just that for this article to be kept. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 03:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- His MySpace page showed a full-page spread in Vibe, and it does appear to be true that they featured him in at least one article. Weak keep based on that, and the brief news article. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 03:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- You probably are not familiar with the usage of the term "featured" in hip-hop. Every backstage finger-shaker in the main rapper's crowd is "featuring". `'Míkka>t 06:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, yes, I am aware of that use of the term but I was not keeping it in mind when I wrote my comment. When I chose the word "featured" all I meant was that the article is about him, in contrast to an article about some other topic that mentions him. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 14:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was skimming over the text and missed the context. Anyway, a rapper with a single single (about which nothing better to say than "received extensive airplay on Michigan radio") fails WP:MUSIC. `'Míkka>t 15:06, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- No worries. That's what the Knight-Ridder story mentions, but the Vibe article says a little more that just that. I've added the reference to the article now (and also corrected the link I provided above). To be clear: my "weak keep" !vote is based on WP:MUSIC criterion #1. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 17:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
