[edit] Serius Jones

Five minutes of fame; no contract, no releases, just the appearance on Fight Klub. Few web hits aside from copyvios of the MTV show. Mikeblas 14:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, fails WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. --Coredesat talk 08:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Serius Jones is gaining notoriety in the hip-hop and rap battle underground. As stated in the article, he defeated the former champion Jin the Emcee, but what has not been mentioned is that he won $10,000 dollars by defeating Jin and that Jin the Emcee is on the Ruff Ryder label. Defeating an MC who was a rap battle champion, is a rapper on a major label and winning $10,000 dollars by defeating said rapper adds weight to the importance of keeping this article. Keep this page. --Toddd 06:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC

• Comment I meant to ask earlier about this one - is the MTV competition "notable"? For $10,000, it sounds like it should be. If it is, I'm with the Keeps. If it ain't, I'm with the Deletes, as this seems to be all he is famous for at the moment. --DaveG12345 00:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment I don't think a $10,000 contest is notable. mscdirect.com is running a contest to win a tool box and a set of tools; would you have us write up an article about the contest and its winner? Every scratch-off lottery winner, or local poker champion? -- Mikeblas 01:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I'm just working off the WP:MUSIC guideline: "Has won or placed in a major music competition". As I say, I have no idea whether this competition is "major". It's more major than that tool box comp you're citing, for sure, but I don't see the relevance of your follow-up questions anyway (poker? this is music, isn't it? "every magazine best newcomer award winner" might be more like it). I was assuming anything MTV put out is probably trivial, but would have liked some confirmation. Seriusly. --DaveG12345 01:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Mikeblas; you don't consider defeating a rapper(Jin) on a major record label(Ruff Ryder) who has had one or two hit songs in the past few months a big deal? I know I do. --Toddd 06:26, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Assuming the MTV competition can be classed as non-trivial (above discussion seems to assert this), then WP:MUSIC is passed. --DaveG12345 04:40, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Coredesat, and also WP:VER, and WP:NOR. Ste4k 06:36, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
