[edit] Famous (rapper)

Famous (rapper) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Arguably insufficiently notable. I PRODded the article hoping for second opinion but the author (legitimately) deleted it so none was offered, hence bringing it here for discussion instead. Some association with Chamillionaire but I do not believe own article is warranted. Also in dispute over the name "Famous" so something would need doing to disambiguate. Previously went by the name Lil' Ken (various spellings); Lil' Ken article was speedily deleted earlier today and this appears to have replaced it (currently Lil' Ken is a redirect I put there).

• Delete I noticed the claim of notability was that he was included on some mix tapes. Pharmboy (talk) 21:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Extremely difficult to do Google searching for a rapper with this name -- it seems as though all rappers are famous -- but on the balance of probabilities, and internal evidence in the article as cited by User:Pharmboy above, I believe this doesn't meet WP:N. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Accounting4Taste (talk • contribs) 03:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep He is a very notable rapper and has been featured on one of the most well-known releases of 2007 (Ultimate Victory) as well as many notable mixtapes (Mixtape Messiah 2, Mixtape Messiah 3, etc. which have their own articles). --Josh1billion (talk) 17:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
