[edit] The Riddler(Rapper)

The Riddler(Rapper) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This one is pretty good. I was suspicious because he's just 15 or so, but I realized that some rappers are young. Then, while researching I happened to find the Lil Wayne article. Most of "The Ridder's" biography is actually Lil Wayne's. Google turns up a few references to a rapper called "The Riddler," but he'd be older than this guy. Hoax. janejellyroll 09:41, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Okay, now the article has changed again. The author may have just used Lil Wayne as a template. This article is still unsourced and fails WP:MUSIC. janejellyroll 09:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Give the page some time; the page wasn't even 20 minutes old when it was nominated for deletion. If the creator continues to add content to the page, a more informed decision may be able to be made later. tommylommykins 09:51, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

He is fifteen years old and the lead claims that he is the president or CEO of two different record companies. Yet later, the article states "The two (the subject and a friend) later on went to make plans for a future record label while beefin with rival rapper Royal T." A third record company? There are no sources in this article. janejellyroll 09:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete (I should have marked it db-bio when I found it.) Look at what I found stumbling around on Google: the Riddler has MySpace! He claims to be associated with Atlantic Records/Arkham Asylum Records. You can see for yourself whether Atlantic knows about him, and it is my strong suspicion that Arkham Asylum (don't you love the Batman puns?) was made up in school one day, as I can find no references to it anywhere except the guy's MySpace. And then, if you'll turn your attention to the eastern corridor, you can see that Edgar is both 15 and 17 at the same time. Very non-notable, very unsourced, made up in school one day, quite possibly a hoax... --Rae (Talk | Contribs) 22:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per Rae. It's pretty obvious that this rapper is not only non-notable, but most likely a hoax. Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 05:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
