[edit] Cadence Weapon

Delete because it looks an awful lot like vanity, and non-notable. Plus: Alberta Rappers?—ℬastique▼^talk 01:54, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. However, gets about 700 Google hits. I think maybe he should try again when he has actually released a couple of albums, per WP:MUSIC. -Splash 02:17, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, per WP:MUSIC, plenty of media coverage. Kappa 02:29, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete fails wikipedia guidlelines WP:MUSIC. JamesBurns 05:07, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This deserves to be expanded. I don't know which of the reviews mentioned in the article qualify under criterion #4 of WP:MUSIC, but regardless, he's notable under criterion #6. Or is there a more prominent Edmonton rapper? Factitious 07:46, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm sure there's some logical fallacy there. Being the most prominent Edmonton rapper isn't really saying much. — Phil Welch 04:11, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Why isn't that saying much? I've never been to Edmonton, so there may be something I'm missing about the place. Factitious 04:28, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete until he actually releases an album. Then we'll see. -R. fiend 14:06, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Actually only 160 displayed hits. Niteowlneils 16:48, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete No releases, no article. Denni☯ 21:22, 2005 Jun 26 (UTC)
  • He released Cadence Weapon Is The Black Hand. WP:MUSIC points out that there are guidelines for notability other than number of releases. As I said earlier, he qualifies under them. Factitious 00:27, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)
    • Okay, let's go with local notability. We live in the same city - his local profile is zero. Denni☯ 01:43, 2005 Jun 27 (UTC)
      • I'd assumed that the Edmonton publications referred to in the article were significant ones. Are they? Since you live in Edmonton, you'd probably know more about them than I would. Factitious 02:40, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Critera 4 is met, as Cadence Weapon has been featured in every Edmonton magazine or paper, from the lowliest indie rag to the fully accredited chain papers like The Edmonton Journal and The Edmonton Sun. He has also been featured on online media sources like Pitchfork Media, Stylus Magazine, and taste-making blogs like Fluxblog. Criteria 6 is met because no Edmonton rapper has even a fraction of the influence, scope, or reach of Cadence. FuzzMcKenzie

Sorry, Fuzz, but you are not really eligible to vote, no history on Wikipedia as FuzzMcKenzie or as 68.151.36.151. I wish you the best in your career. Vanity article. ℬastique▼^talk 03:40, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Please do not bite the newcomers. Factitious 04:28, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)

Not a bite. I wished him best. Look at the newcomer's contributions. Wikipedia is not Self-promotion. ℬastique▼^talk 04:45, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per the above. Radiant_>|< June 28, 2005 11:42 (UTC)
• Delete not notable CDC (talk) 28 June 2005 13:57 (UTC)
• Delete Anon's use of Edmonton Journal as major music media to satisfy WP:MUSIC #4 is cute, but wrong. I'm sure that this artist will eventually meet one of the others. Come back then. Unsinkable 28 June 2005 19:20 (UTC)
