::{{ping|Darreg}} I try as much as possible not to settle for what the mainstream offers and i usually dig deep to listen to quality hip hop. That way i catch up with artists who have been making waves in the underground. He actually has been covered by some newspapers.

Song for a rapper whose main article was deleted. Talk page raises doubts about non-notability, so I'm bringing this to AFD instead of CSD. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 03:14, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Magog the Ogre: Did you try to assess notability yourself WP:BEFORE nominating? There are a lot of reviews cited. Did you look specifically at the 4 I referenced on the talk page. What is your assessment of these? ~Kvng (talk) 14:33, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Kvng: I did, actually! I am suspicious these might in fact be a WP:WALLEDGARDEN of self-publicity. But I admittedly don't know if these are genuine publicity or just a walled garden, since I am not up on the rap music scene. That's why I'm bringing it up for discussion.

- Keep - Sources are adequate and reliable enough to establish notability. I have searched for these sources here on WP and a couple (HipHopDX, HotNewHipHop) have WP articles. The others are used as sources for other hip-hop WP articles. Certainly not a WP:WALLEDGARDEN as suspected by the nom. ~Kvng (talk) 14:18, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep for points laid out by Kvng. Article clearly passes GNG MustaphaNG (talk) 14:56, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete fails the requirements for WP:N (music) - WP is not the marketing arm for launching new careers in the music industry. Atsme📞📧 18:34, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- Weak Keep:Despite not having a strong interest in music generally lately, I still expect to have heard of all Nigerian musicians worthy of WP articles, especially Hip-hop. I consider it strange and to a lesser extent suspicious that I've never heard of the artist behind this album until today. That being said, the references in the article show coverage, but they are mostly non-Nigerian hip hop-related references, would highly benefit from coverage from mainstream newspaper and entertainment sites in Nigeria.
- My reason for making this vote weak is based on personal bias, not policy or guideline. Nevertheless, I'll love to know if Versace1608 has listened to any of his music or heard of him before now? Darreg (talk) 10:07, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
