Recreation. If not then for its seemingly low notability. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xplicit Lajbi Holla @ me 16:29, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Delete - per possible recreation of deleted material under new name. Lajbi Holla @ me 16:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No speedy, since I'm pretty sure this is not a recreation. The debate referenced above does not appear to be about the same person as is the subject of this article. However, as stated by Lajbi, this person still does not appear to be notable. Mwelch 19:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, non-notable. Note the blue links for his yet-to-be-released stuff misleadingly go to different articles. Bobanny 19:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- STRONG DELETE - not notable and probably self-promotional. Ward3001 22:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete since this page fails the "who gives a shit?" test. Mr. Berry 23:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I am one of the people that worked on this page, and I have never heard of the the "Xplicit" mentioned above. Explicit from Sac, the artist that this page refers to, is currently really hot in northern cali. I have a greater concern though, being that underground hip hop is greatly under represented on wikipedia, I was planning on starting pages for several more underground artists, some more popular and some less popular than Explicit, and was hoping that others would follow suit. T-Nutty, Loki, First Degree, Young Droop, C-Lim etc...all these artists have moved 50,000+ units and are not just kids with demos...they are notable if you are familiar with the scene and it is easy to verify. But the impression I'm getting is that it would be a waste of my time. You all seem to be far more familiar with the rules of wikipedia than I...so you tell me.

- STRONG KEEP, Explicit passes the notabilty requirements easily. I just now saw the deletion tag, I am pressed for time tonight but will be referencing as much as possible tomorrow. I would hate to see this page go. 70.168.68.40 04:04, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
