Pretty Ugly (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable rapper, has yet to releae an album. Corvus cornixtalk 05:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Has appeared on Grand Theft Auto, has done work with many notable rappers, including Hi-Tek, 50 cent, DJ Whoo Kid, Royce Da 5'9", etc, releasing album sometime in 2008. (Joelasaurus (talk) 06:04, 19 January 2008 (UTC))

Are you going to argue your point at all? (Joelasaurus (talk) 06:11, 19 January 2008 (UTC))

Unless you decide to argue your point I'm gonig to take away the delete thing, because the page reaches notability guidelines. (Joelasaurus (talk) 08:36, 19 January 2008 (UTC))

  • The AfD thing has to stay until resolved here, usually for 5 days. AnteaterZot (talk) 08:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Don't get me wrong, it's a good start to establishing notability, but you're gonna need more sources for the article to stand. The one source that's not self-published is good, but a reading of that article suggests that given the troubles he's had with the law and his record labels, the statement that he is going to be dropping an album this year might be WP:CRYSTAL. -- RoninBK T C 17:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Pretty much textbook example of an artist that doesn't meet WP:BAND. No released albums, no secondary sources. eaolson (talk) 19:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Correction, one secondary source, [1] -- RoninBK T C 19:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
      • I'm not even looking for a deal, I'm waiting for them to come to me In other words, unsigned. Corvus cornixtalk 23:54, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I see roninbk's point, and i am planning on getting in touch with p.u on the matter, i am currently seeking information and references, sources, interviews, and anything else i can find about p.u. www.gamecrib.com wouldve been helpful, if the site hadnt of have been deleted, but i am finding small articles and things. Also, see my point above, collaborating with well-known artists should garner notability. (Joelasaurus (talk) 03:36, 20 January 2008 (UTC))
    • Joelasaurus, I seriously doubt you'll find the articles by the time this AfD closes. It's nothing against Pretty Ugly, it might just be that it's not his time to have a Wikipedia article. You might want to copy the page to your User space so you can keep working on it, and once you have some serious publicity coverage for him you are certainly welcome to recreate the page. You might also check out Wikipedia:Alternative outlets in the meantime. -- RoninBK T C 21:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
