[edit] Lil' Scrappy

Poor guy seems to be named after some character in a 1930s B-movie, but that aside, he hasn't yet put out his first album. Not notable (yet). -- Hoary 05:33, 2005 Feb 13 (UTC)

• Comment: the "split EP" it mentions has 21 tracks [1] and "lil' scrappy" gets 86,000 google hits [2]. Kappa 06:05, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable yet, agree with Hoary. Megan1967 06:06, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep The EP referred to in the article is , according to All Music Guide, actually an album which reached #12 on the Billboard album charts and #3 r and b/hip hop charts last year. A single "No Problem" reached the US top 40. Meets criteria for inclusion for Wikipedia Music project. Needs to be expanded and added to and I hope to do that myself.

  • Have rewritten article adding chert success, forthcoming album and work on Lil Jon's single and on tour with Lloyd Banks and Young Buck of G-Unit.Capitalistroadster 09:14, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep — J3ff 07:54, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for reasons given by Capitalistroadster and to address systemic bias against people with silly names. Kappa 13:34, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. OK, I take it back about the name. And I've somehow managed to stay mum about Dizzee Rascal and even the truly non-notable Camilla Parker Bowles (let's see, the Guardian tells us she got one O-level and Wikipedia tells us that she once actually worked [gasp!] for a living, as a receptionist). -- Hoary 14:45, 2005 Feb 13 (UTC)

• Keep for meeting WikiProject:Music's guidelines for inclusion. (this is not based on the article, but on CapitalistRoadster's comment) Tuf-Kat 03:58, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP! He is a well (VERY well) known new major-label recording artist in the American Southern hip hop music scene. Good grief, people! --b. Touch 17:35, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I can't stand this ig'nunt fool, and his pic is enuff to make anyone retch. Still, a legitimate subject matter for Wiki. deeceevoice 20:14, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
