[edit] Hi-C (rapper)

Hi-C (rapper) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

I'm bring this to AfD because it's been deleted a few times but I'm not sure if it's obviously non-notable. The article claims that he has recorded for some high-profile labels such as Hollywood Records and Tommy Boy Records, and appeared on songs for well-known rappers. A few of his songs are also in the soundtrack of Malibu's Most Wanted (although I don't think we should hold that against him). He also walked the red carpet (and was attacked) at The Source awards, which was a newsworthy occurrence. For the record, I feel it is a weak keep. ... discospinster talk 02:29, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

If he was involved in the making of Malibu's Most Wanted, I'm going to vote keep based on this alone, as I found that film to be quite hilarious. I realize my bias however - as a former resident of Ventura County, I was exposed to entirely too many people who acted entirely too much just like the protagonist of that film. Some, almost exactly. So, I found it far funnier than most audiences. Also, this is doubtless part of the reason I now live in Arizona... Zaphraud (talk)

  • Keep, although I will admit that I'm primarily motivated toward keep because I've heard his music before. Way back in middle school. damn. Anyway, I fully agree with nom's rationale. hateless 20:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - I'm really not understanding the motivation for this AfD - given the claims and the nominator stating "for the record" that it's a weak keep, this discussion shouldn't technically be taking place. WP:COMMON. I'm also going to go out on a limb and declare that this is going to be a snow clause candidate in the near future. Wisdom89 (T / C) 20:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. I brought this to AfD because the article was being speedily deleted on a regular basis and I didn't feel that it was warranted. I couldn't bring it to WP:DRV because it had been recreated so at that point it wasn't deleted (although it did have a speedy tag). Someone, somewhere, wants it deleted but it shouldn't be speedied so I put it here. If my "for the record" comment muddles it, I can remove it. ... discospinster talk 00:15, 25 March 2008 (UTC) Edited to add: I have looked more closely at WP:DRV and see that existing articles can, in fact, be reviewed. I'll close this AfD on procedure and move the discussion there. ... discospinster talk 00:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
