I'm having trouble finding sufficient RS coverage to warrant keeping this bio under our notability standards, though others are welcome to try. Note: this article is about a rapper and producer, not the band by the same name. While the (dead ref) text does indicate he came in third in a competition, I'm not sure it is of the requisite level.

- Keep – Online sources are not extensive, but include this, this, and this chart. But the better sources are not online: I'm finding there are multiple articles about him in the Times Colonist and in The Province. I'll add some of those sources, which I believe are enough for WP:MUSICBIO criterion #1. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 02:39, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I haven't seen the non-online sources, but I'm open hearing more on them and potentially changing my mind if they do in fact meet criterion 1. I had not thought the indicated online sources as sufficient to satisfy GNG, due to issues of quantity, depth of coverage, and dubious RS status. Thanks, Paul, for your good work.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:29, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, Epeefleche. The two articles I added from the Times Colonist are entirely about the subject. The one from The Province is about him and his manager. All have significant biographical details about the musician in question. I added a few others that had some coverage but were not entirely about him. There are also another ten or so articles from The Province and the Times Colonist that I did not include because the coverage in them was relatively brief.

- Great work. Kudos.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:27, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - per WP:BAND #1 and Paul Erik. I've fixed the one dead link for the Times Colonist (thanks Paul!) The linkrot for the other? I've added Paul's on-line citation for Chartattack (sorry with no context). The article needs TLC not deletion. Argolin (talk) 09:02, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdraw. Based on Paul's excellent finds of off-line RS material of robust nature, in two RSs (one over 100 years old; I'm fine with both), I'm happy to withdraw this nomination. Anyone should feel to close it.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:27, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
