[edit] Nicky Spesh

Escapes speedy by a hair's-breadth, non-notable per WP:MUSIC. Stifle 12:53, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Surprised me. Actually is released on a label. Still, article desperately needs expanded on. {{stub}} it and get it linked somewhere. --StuffOfInterest 14:28, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NMG. PJM 14:58, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. (1) Musicians myst have TWO albums released. Or a gold record, charted hit, or big-leauge tour. UNLESS... they have a big media buzz or... are verifiably the MOST prominent representitive of a notable style in the local scene of a city. I'm not seeing that, although I could be missing it. (2) Poorly written article, to boot. (3) If he's notable, and I've missed it, sorry, but THE ARTICLE CREATOR HAS SOME RESPONSIBILITY to make the case for notability -- name tour venues, provide references, anything. Why should we do all the work? Annoying. Herostratus 19:11, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete. He has released a record which has received some notice and is available. However, a search for Nicky Spesh only gets 95 results [1] although some verifiable references ie BBC, Tesco etc. Capitalistroadster 22:34, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. 740 Results for Nicky Spesh at last search including BBC etc, saw him in leading article in DJ magazine. People are saying he is using hip hop to tell stories in a way that no British artist has done before. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.19.57.162 (talk • contribs).
• Comment The above unsigned keep vote is from the author of the article, who has also added Nicky Spesh to English hip hop and, strangely, Category:British_rappers. peachlette 13:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

  Comment "People are saying" doesn't wash on Wikipedia, see WP:NPOV, specifically the part about not using weasel words. Stifle 22:35, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

  comment "What a load of rubbish, I've seen this dude on T.V and he's not called carlos sheltnaman or whatever that thing said. The article is not very well written I will change it."
