[edit] Armand Navabi

A student. Also a rapper, apparently, though his music appears to be available excluisively by download from his site. Just zis Guy you know? 10:57, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, although he may ultimately prove just on the right side of notable in relation to his music (which is in a style I'd never even heard of until I read the article). BigHaz 11:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep! He's at least notable enough that I'd heard about him before I found this page (and so have a number of other hip-hop nerds from Georgia Tech). Also quite good; you should take a listen. -- Alex R. ( http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~alexr ) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.27.161.253 (talk • contribs) 19:27, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Faint keep. I see no harm in this, the artist holds minor notability within the nerdcore genre and has been featured in Wired magazine. Yamaguchi先生 23:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Has now appeared in EE Times (http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=179101995), and the "genre" appears to be gaining at least enough noteriety to warrant a brief reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.240.243.170 (talk • contribs) 19:29, 27 July 2006
• Keep. He's one of the bigger names in nerdcore and he's quite good. Beefy 8:42, 28 July 2006 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.252.111 (talk • contribs) 10:42, 28 July 2006

• Delete per WP:MUSIC Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep if the above are correct that he has been featured in articles in multiple magazines, that meets one of MUSIC's notability criteria. Though these should be mentioned in the article. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 01:04, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No Allmusic page and no record label? A one-graf article mention on Wired, and a brief mention on a mystery meat news site? Not enough, sorry. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 02:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. Dlyons493 Talk 02:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable rapper, fails WP:MUSIC. --musicpvm 03:50, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. He's no MC Frontalot. Jacqui^★ 14:18, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. — FireFox ^(talk) _{14:29, 31 July '06}
• Delete per nom alphaChimp ^laudare 15:22, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Passes WP:MUSIC (Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media). A story about Nerdcore rap in Wired (the bulk of which concerns him) and a front page and large story about him in a major IT magazine suggest he is very, very notable. (note: In no way should anyone interpret my defence of this article as support for the genre. I have a rep to maintain!) Drett 16:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - keep all bands per nom. GrapePie 19:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or merge Wired and EE Times are both fairly good references. Perhaps merge into a list (always a good way to deal with stubs). LinaMishima 20:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I've added some new material to the article. If people could have another look at it and perhaps reconsider their vote? Drett 02:27, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
