The result was no consensus. After two re-lists, there was no consensus to Delete, and a leaning to Keep; although a concern about the weakness of RS. No prejudice to a future re-list (non-admin closure) Britishfinance (talk) 10:23, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing seems to have changed since the last AFD. None of the sources seem to really cover the musician in depth. Majority of the sources are about him dating a famous person. Fails WP:NMUSIC Ceethekreator (talk) 14:39, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete this atrocity. There is no notability here. Trillfendi (talk) 15:33, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep This is quite a well known person. There are literally 5 pages of articles on google news about him [1]. I imagine atleast 3-4 of the like 80 articles on him would be eligible to let him pass WP:GNG. This isn't some unknown artist, this is a rapper who regularly gets millions of hits on his stuff and used to date a Kardashian. Weak because I didn't do any digging into articles.

@AlessandroTiandelli333: Being "well known" has nothing to do with Notability and can you please back your vote by providing the sources that make him pass GNG. Ceethekreator (talk) 08:57, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep while the Hollywood Life, XXL (magazine), Yahoo! Entertainment articles discuss an incident they do discuss the musician's career/character.Djflem (talk) 05:01, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete There is not enough sources from hip hop related articles for this rapper. Most sources are Soundcloud songs, spotify, and YouTube video. Proudpakistani11 (talk) 13:26, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I've used the article about him in Hollywood Life as a source in another article, and as pointed out above there are clearly multiple reliable and verifiable sources that are clearly about him to establish notability. The fact that many of the sources are links to songs or videos is irrelevant; the sources about him are what establish notability. Alansohn (talk) 21:22, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - The article has sufficient sourcing to meet WP:GNG 38.142.216.106 (talk) 14:36, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep even though I never heard of him, People did. If only he could get in a few more scrapes we could get more SIGCOV. Lightburst (talk) 23:37, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per WP:BASIC if many reliable in-depth sources aren’t provided but subject has received multiple independent coverage (which subject of our discussion has received) then I believe by that guideline article shouldn’t be deleted. Celestina007 (talk) 15:26, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - this rapper is notable. I do not seem to understand why rappers have a harder time on Wikipedia than mainstream rock guitarists. MenfesKidus40 (talk) 01:51, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
