If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion.

I immediately rejected the article because the sources are poor and promotional. Far better sources need to be found, and the article rewritten from them. Famousbirthdays.com and celebsiren.com are not reliable and should not be used at all. Interviews and profiles are considered primary sources. That leaves just the Kansas.com reference as a guide for the entire article, and that reference focuses on basketball almost as much as music: It doesn't justify an article about a rapper with a short mention about his playing basketball. --Ronz (talk) 17:00, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An extended welcome

Hi Neighboreno. Welcome to Wikipedia. I wasn't sure if you'd be editing further when I left the note above. I'm glad you're still interested in contributing to Wikipedia.

I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 20:49, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
