A little tricky, but ultimately I don't believe this artist satisfies notability concerns per WP:MUSIC. Aside from a brief stint at Psychopathic Records, his other labels have been non-notable. In addition, the article is unreferenced and is written in a generally promotional style. Associated albums to follow. Recommend Delete. // Chris (complaints)•(contribs) 01:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete all The musician, as prolific as he is, isn't the subject of any reliable third party sources and thus fails WP:MUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:35, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep the musician's page; he has a decent length AMG bio, so I'm sure there are more sources, and two of his albums were on Psycopathic. Therefore, he meets at least one criterion of WP:MUSIC. Not sure about the albums; perhaps merge those into Esham discography? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 14:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment I saw his AMG bio, but a google search didn't turn up any other reviews from reliable sources. If I'm missing something, I'd be happy to withdraw, although I would prefer to merge his albums into a discography page. // Chris (complaints)•(contribs) 15:20, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete albums and no opinion on the rapper. Too many album articles that are non-notable and wasteful. Chimeric Glider (talk) 04:04, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep all. I don't know where this is coming from: his albums have frequently charted on Billboard and he's got All Music Guide album reviews. It's inconceivable that further reliable sources don't exist on such a person or his albums. Everyking (talk) 10:18, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. A somewhat POPULAR artist who i've heard on Z100. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.145.15 (talk) 12:32, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The deletion nomination appears to have been predicated more on the current state of the articles rather than the inherent notability of the subject, which demonstrably passes WP:MUSIC. Chubbles (talk) 18:00, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
