Subject lacks significant coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:GNG and since the article asserts them as being a rapper by trade, they fail WP:MUSICBIO by a country mile. The article was tagged for speedy deletion by three different users including, RHaworth and Flat Out with each tag being declined by the same non-admin user.

Comment - it's that "non-admin user" here. :-) The intro needs a re-write, but although he's not notable as a musician, he appears to be notable as a missionary, with full profiles in the CBN and DoDEA references, and a review on Cross Rhythms. Ruby Murray 20:29, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CBD appears to be a reliable third party source so that is a start, the other two not so much. Not sure how coverage by the later two would establish any notability. STATic message me! 20:48, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking of WP:BIO here, not WP:MUSICBIO. The article certainly needs work to steer it away from portraying him as a notable musician. But as the bio section already notes, he dropped his idea of a career in music for its own sake years ago, and his career is focused on missionary work. Cross Rhythms, for example, is a Christian evangelism media group, and promotes music as ministry rather than by overall popularity or chart success. I'll try to find some more sources.

Delete- fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:BLPNOTE. On the sources currently available, there is not substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. Flat Out let's discuss it 00:14, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- The article shows no evidcne of his notability as an evangelist. So, this is a typical one-man ministry; such are typically NN. I am willing to be convinced that I am wrong on this, but can only judge on wha tis in the article. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:11, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
