[edit] Quan
Don't think this guy meets the minimum criteria for Wikipedia listing.
- No vote, I'm just fixing the formatting of this AfD. --Metropolitan90 01:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Weak keep Barely notable. But there are lots of articles about less notable people. --Rogerd 02:04, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
It's good. Leave it.
- Delete non-notable, half of the article was copied from a puff-piece[1] --Anetode 02:57, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per Anetode. He doesn't seem to meet the WP:MUSIC guidelines, which are set rather low. -- Kjkolb 03:01, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Has an Allmusic.com page see [2]
However, it shows one non-charting album from 2002 on the Quan label (indicating self-produced) and confirms the Nas link. However, he may qualify under WP:music in the future given his work with a notable rapper and the piece cited by user Anetode suggests he is attracting some attention.

- Delete. All notability for this bio is as a musician, therefore WP:MUSIC seems like a very fair test. If he doesn't meet the criteria, easy call. Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:18, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Reduce to two sentences, and merge and redirect to Ill Will Records. If he ever comes out with his own material, make a new article. --FuriousFreddy 07:51, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, appeared on a single with a notable rapper. Kappa 09:41, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- At best Redirect into Nas. Preferrably Delete though, He doesn't currently meet WP:MUSIC. Karmafist 14:39, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The allmusic.com entry is incomplete, indicating a barely notable artist. Andrew pmk | Talk 16:47, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect as per FuriousFreddy. Jkelly 01:05, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. "Upcoming rapper" = non-notable vanity bio that fails WP:MUSIC. When he has arrived, he can get a wikipedia entry. Quale 03:42, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
