[edit] Alex Gilbert

Teenage rapper recording albums at his home studio, unsigned, no indication of notability at all - I'd say he fails WP:MUSIC by quite a bit. Prod removed; some attempt at establishing the artist's notability on the talk page, but still doesn't appear to make it. Delete Tony Fox (arf!) 19:47, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete 8 hits on Ask.com and none of them seem to be about this particular rapper. 10 hits on google, with one appearing to be a Record of the Week for a British rapper. Not sure if these are the same rappers though. If they are and this article can show inpotance, I may change my opinion. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 20:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete, so tagged, two self-produced albums by a 14-year-old does not count as an assertion of notability. Re above comment, this person claims to be from New Zealand, not Britain. NawlinWiki 20:13, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I doubt the speediable aspect of this as this does attempt to assert importance. It is up to AfD disscussion to figure out that it is or is not important. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 20:34, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Actually, as Eagle 101 (sort of) points out, it does count as an assertion of notability. Silly billy! fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 11:55, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, for the reasons already stated. Seemingly no evidence of an indie label of any significance, no awards, no articles written in periodicals about the artist. -Bkessler23 20:15, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Spam, vanity and NN. The only external link is "Alex Gilberts Music Store" at BlogSpot. It points to Wikipedia for "Go here for Alex Gilberts Bio". --Scott Davis ^Talk 04:18, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:12, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete or Speedy. Fails WP:MUSIC by a mile. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete vanity article of a non-notable --RMHED 13:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no evidence of meeting WP:MUSIC. --Kinu ^t/_c 15:02, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Strong delete per CSD-A7. The album covers look like they were made in MS Paint. Fails WP:MUSIC. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 00:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete per norm. --Yunipo 01:36, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
