Not notable, lack of independent credible sources. It was A7/G11 yesterday, but apparently isn't today (speedy delete declined, claims to have a no1 hit in Nigeria). A google search for "nigerian hip hop charts" throws up two websites, buzznigeria.com and 360nobs.com, searching both sites for "rodney malice" returns no results. I don't believe there's a credible assertion of significance, but having WP:CSD#G4 available next time round has its benefits too. Bazj (talk) 13:31, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

delete although I declined the speedy delete, (due to claim of a chart topping hit, and not excessively promotional) I do not like hip hop, so I would just speedy delete any nomination, but that is really a bit unfair. However in this case the only mentions seem to be in social media or places selling his product. So notability does not seem to be there, also there seems to be no confirmation of no 1 hit.

Delete: Sadly, no evidence of notability. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 21:59, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: As nearly as I can tell, internal claims to notability rest on a single that was a hit, although we can't verify or completely assess what "hit" means in this context. An album-length release is upcoming. Other internal claims rest on interviews and buzz. These are insufficient for MUSIC. Hithladaeus (talk) 23:42, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
