[edit] Encona Coarse

Article fails to establish notability in accordance with Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines. Article claims they released two EP's but does not name them. There is no entry on Allmusic.com for either the crew or MC Telltale. 19 Google hits for "Encona Coarse" and zero Google hits for "MC Telltale", see [1] and [2] respectively. The claim they were the first is unverifiable on Google, "Get a Booty Wit Dat Drink" scores Zero Google hits which leads me to believe sections of that article are possibly bogus.

• Allmusic.com is not a suitable measure of non-US acts. That said, keep only if verifiability added; weak delete otherwise - David Gerard 10:16, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, nn vanity + hoax. Leanne 07:16, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Encona Coarse was one of the first "UK" Rap crews. The EP's Rhyme Grenade & Via Coarseville are mentioned in the following places [3] & [4]. The Name MC Tell Tale can be seen on shots of the Rhyme Grenade EP cover as said previously Allmusic.com is not a suitable measure of non-US acts
