Non-notable rapper. Only 335 Yahoo hits, not a reliable source among them. Only sources in article are the usual collection of Myspace and fan sites. Just barely escapes being an A7, but fails WP:MUSIC miserably. Blueboy96 21:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: Delete after allowing a certain time period to cite the claims in the article. Having absolutely no in-line citation is a very serious handicap for this article. Even with my non-existent knowledge of "grime music", I cannot bring myself to say keep as the article stands now. --Kushal^t 21:50, 3 December 2007 (UTC) By default, additional accounts are ineligible for voting in this AfD.

He is more widely known than 3 other grime artists that Wikipedia has articles on: Tinchy Stryder, Ghetto and Jammer. Those 3 artists have not entered the mainstream as much as JME has. I agree he is not on a par with Dizzee Rascal, Kano or Lethal Bizzle. But JME has collaborated with Lily Allen on the track "LDN Remix" and with Lady Sovereign. These two are two of the biggest selling female artists in the last couple of years in England. Furthermore, JME is by popular conception the most talented and unique grime artist, and regularly appears on national radio station Radio 1 (most popular radio station in the UK), on Tim Westwood's rap show, the biggest rap show on air, which draws hundreds of thousands of listeners each week. If this article is deleted, logic would also extend to the neccesity of deleting the articles of Tinchy Stryder, Ghetto and Jammer, as JME is popular, the opinion that he is more talented held by most, involved in the mainstream, and one of the biggest up and coming British rap artists, as well as being a pioneer of the grime scene and UK rap in general.

• Speedy Keep as per Yeris222. Something X (talk) 13:26, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
• KEEP : Though I do not follow rap, or even like rap, this artist does establish notoriety as shown here, [1]. Being featured on MTV and mentioned and or featured in articles by several other reliable and verifiable sources makes this a definite keep. Shoessss |  Chat  13:28, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
