[edit] Quan

Don't think this guy meets the minimum criteria for Wikipedia listing.

• No vote, I'm just fixing the formatting of this AfD. --Metropolitan90 01:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep Barely notable. But there are lots of articles about less notable people. --Rogerd 02:04, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

It's good. Leave it.

September 30th was an exceptionally busy AfD day. So this debate among several got almost no attention. Relisting in hope of some tender, loving debate this time around. -Splash^talk 00:00, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete non-notable, half of the article was copied from a puff-piece[1] --Anetode 02:57, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Anetode. He doesn't seem to meet the WP:MUSIC guidelines, which are set rather low. -- Kjkolb 03:01, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Has an Allmusic.com page see [2]

However, it shows one non-charting album from 2002 on the Quan label (indicating self-produced) and confirms the Nas link. However, he may qualify under WP:music in the future given his work with a notable rapper and the piece cited by user Anetode suggests he is attracting some attention.

• Delete. All notability for this bio is as a musician, therefore WP:MUSIC seems like a very fair test. If he doesn't meet the criteria, easy call. Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:18, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Reduce to two sentences, and merge and redirect to Ill Will Records. If he ever comes out with his own material, make a new article. --FuriousFreddy 07:51, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, appeared on a single with a notable rapper. Kappa 09:41, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• At best Redirect into Nas. Preferrably Delete though, He doesn't currently meet WP:MUSIC. Karmafist 14:39, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The allmusic.com entry is incomplete, indicating a barely notable artist. Andrew pmk | Talk 16:47, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect as per FuriousFreddy. Jkelly 01:05, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. "Upcoming rapper" = non-notable vanity bio that fails WP:MUSIC. When he has arrived, he can get a wikipedia entry. Quale 03:42, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
