This website fails notability guidelines, where it is not talked about in a significant number of reliable sources that are independent of the subject themselves, except for one article in The Christian Post. This is a great website, where they are an invaluable source to cover the Christian hip hop subgenre of hip hop music, while this is not a reason for keeping the non-notable websites article.

Strong keep: Discussed in numerous independent reliable sources. In addition to the Christian Post article discussing the website at length, there are several other significant mentions. CBN broadcasted a piece about website, and the site has gotten some significant coverage of it's Freshmen compilations, these CCM Magazine and Wade-O Radio stories about the Freshmen 2015, for example. There also is some discussion of the site in reviews of it's King Kulture albums (see this and this for just two examples), and also some discussion of the accompanying school building project in Africa that the album sales support. In addition to that coverage, the site has partnered in events with several significant organizations, including Chris Chicago's radio show and the GMA Dove Awards. Lastly, I found two brief mentions in book sources (here and here).--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:04, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Walter Görlitz, Ilovechristianmusic, would either of you like to comment here?--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 15:02, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: At the moment, the article doesn't have much coverage, hence making it fail the WP:NOTABLE guideline. If the article is left as it is, I say delete the article, but if there are plans to expand upon the article, I say keep. ilovechristianmusic ^{(Tell Me Something!)} 16:30, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Given the references 3family6 has stated above are added to expand the article, I say keep. ilovechristianmusic ^{(Tell Me Something!)} 16:33, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
