Skippa da Flippa

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A minor recording artist who's releases are mixtapes. Poorly referenced with no real demonstration of notability. DanielRigal (talk) 23:01, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The above user is the only person making these claims, not a single other one. There's over 20 reliable references on the page, as for whether or not it's notable can be debated but hasn't been. Also, it should be noted WP has many pages for artists who have only released mixtapes Young Thug, Vic Mensa, Towkio, Chance the Rapper, Lil Yachty, Rich the Kid, Noname, Rockie Fresh, Joey Purp, Smino, Fat Trel and many more.

Comment: well, no, Cheetoburrito, the references to iTunes and Spinrilla merely demonstrate that the mixtapes exist and can be downloaded, so in fact we are indeed debating their notability. And your argument about other rappers is WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and irrelevant to whether this article is itself notable (in any case, the likes of Chance the Rapper has put out full albums that have charted on Billboard and elsewhere, as well as mixtapes). Nevertheless, there is an interview with the subject here which might be an RS... other sources such as this and this are really just brief passing mentions.

Delete per nom. As stated, the sources used in this article are merely the songs' listings on iTunes and Spinrilla, which are not reliable sources. There are no sources that talk about this artist or his work in any depth, aside from just listings of his releases, and I can not find anything during searches aside from these. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 16:38, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete couldn't find anything notable about this artist anywhere on the page so I looked on the web and could find nothing either...Domdeparis (talk) 13:29, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
