I count 4 "delete" to 2 "keep". My own review of the article does not convince me that this person meets our recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies yet. Rossami (talk) 08:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Professor Green

Non-notable bio Ian Pitchford 16:19, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• This article provides one external link to an on-line interview. It makes the irritating claim that 'Professor Green' is "the best freestyler [rapper] in the UK but little information can be found about him". He might well be the best but information needs to be verifiable and from a neutral point of view. So, unless more substantive sources are forthcoming, it fails to meet the music notability guidelines. Delete. Sliggy 22:42, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I added and referred to a story on the BBC News website, where he won a rap battle. Changing vote to weak keep as prominent representative of a notable style. Sliggy 21:20, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

• Hmmm, has had a track played on BBC1 extra see [1] but falls just the wrong side of WP:NMG for mine until more information is available. Weak delete. Capitalistroadster 00:11, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Keep. The battle at which he lost to Jin Au-Yeung was a major international event in the hip-hop community, and his second-place finish is somewhat notable. His name, while not well-known, is at least recognizable from the media coverage of the event. jglc | t | c 06:50, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
