[edit] Ryan Maginn

Non notable rapper, with just 64 Google hits, most unrelated. Rory096 05:38, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep as member of notable group (Styles of Beyond), or redirect to that group's article. dbtfz^talk 05:42, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
  • When I click on the "64" link above I get 449 unique hits, a fair number of which are relevant. dbtfz^talk 06:03, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Are you sure those aren't non-unique hits? --Rory096 06:01, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Yes. I get 5,420 hits altogether. dbtfz^talk 06:03, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
        • I've added a bunch of info to the page, so it looks better. I think that the page should stay, as Ryu's group Styles Of Beyond is starting to become more and more populour, and we will probably have to add a page in the future anyway. I myself have been adding a bunch of S.O.B. pages to the site, such as artist bios, and CD/Vinyl bios, in order to provide more info on this up and coming group. Can we all agree that this page should stay, so we can take it off of the list for deletion? Jay 04:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
          • You didn't really expand it THAT much; most of what you added was the biography from demigodz.com, which constituted a copyright violation and I had to remove. A merge to his band's page wouldn't be too bad though. --Rory096 21:26, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
            • I thought since I put down that I got some of the info from DemiGodz.com, that it wasn't a violation, just like when someone quotes an article from say, a magazine or something. I still think that the page should remain. I will personally keep updating it as much as I can, whenever I get more info. Jay 22:47, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Not too much has been said about this article's candidacy for deletion. However, I took the liberty of removing irrelevant information taken from other Web sites and properly stubbed the article as such. I also moved the article to Ryu (rapper) as that is the name he's more notable under. I kept the AFD template in tact. –Wlmaltby3 07:26, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep - I should've noted that in my comment above. I think with enough digging, verifiable facts can be dug up and added to the article. As stated above, Styles of Beyond is becoming more well-known, so the more information that can be added, the better. –Wlmaltby3 15:19, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

• Hey thanks a lot Wlmaltby3, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one working on the article! I definitley agree that he should have his own page, since he is already extremely populour in the Hip-Hop underground, and is becoming more and more populour to the common public, especially through Fort Minor. One thing though, I think that the "Trivia" section that I added should be kept in the article, so I'll add that back in. Thanks again! Jay 17:56, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
