[edit] Andre Nickatina

Andre Nickatina (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable underground rapper. Only albums have been released by small-time label and a label he heads--thus failing WP:MUSIC. Blueboy96 01:01, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. His albums are self-published, so no evidence of notability there. The article mentions his receiving two awards, but there's no evidence provided that these awards make him pass the notability requirement. Someguy1221 01:26, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete albums are self published (strike 1), references not run by artist are not provided for any claims (strike 2), reads like vanity band spam (strike 3). AND the clincher? Fair Use cover gallery!  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 01:41, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. NHRHS2010 ^Talk 01:43, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete as a totally non-notable underground artist. Utter failure of WP:MUSIC. Possibly a {{db-band}} candidate. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 01:49, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

The fact he heads a record label (albeit a minor one) is the only reason why I didn't slap a speedy tag on that article. Nonetheless, he doesn't even come close to meeting WP:MUSIC. Blueboy96 02:51, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
