[edit] Rip (rapper)

Rip (rapper) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable rapper; mainly a promo article. Jmlk17 00:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep: Seems to meet MUSIC. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Neutral. I don't see a criteria in WP:MUSIC for simply performing alongside a notable musician, but this is probably an oversight of criteria for musicians and ensembles #6. On the other hand, the author may be a single-purpose account on going through their contributions, having added references to Rip on several other articles, and uploaded a couple of images now up for speedies. So, I'm not sure about this one. L337 kybldmstr (talk) 00:45, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as not notable. AvruchTalk 02:37, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, looks alright, but I'm not entirely convinced about the quality of the references.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 05:53, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I couldn't find anything that could be interpreted as a claim of notability in the article. MLA (talk) 10:38, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per MLA. Additionally, the performer received no notable awards outside his local niche sub-culture. --Futurano (talk) 12:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Appears to be at least just notable enough. • Lawrence Cohen 14:37, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment seriously, and without trying to be in any way provocative, I wonder what it is that states notability as I genuinely didn't see anything at all. Breaking the article down: released an album in 2003 that didn't achieve notability, was born in Illinois, wasn't signed to a record label, did some web design for someone notable, was named employee of the week Atlantic Records, released some mixtapes, appeared on some other non-notable mixtapes, will produce an album next year, made appearances as an extra in a couple of vids. I hope I'm not coming across in any way rude, I'm genuinely keen to know what I've missed for notability. MLA (talk) 16:16, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete It's close, on a visceral level it sort of feels like the article is OK, but when pressed there's nothing properly sourced that points to notability. Xymmax (talk) 18:54, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
