The result was delete. Sources are not reliable. Even if you give the nod to the Santa Fe Reporter you have nothing else even close. Notability requires multiples reliable sources and we don't have that here. JodyB_talk 22:33, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable individual lacking non-trivial support. "References" are trivial, not independent, primary in nature. reddogsix (talk) 02:06, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-notable hip-hopper. Pax 07:24, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, meets GNG, article creator. The articles by Local iQ, ABQ-Live, and Santa Fe Reporter are not trivial, and they are independent. Some of them are interviews, which are primary in nature, but they do not amount to original research or self-published sourcing, meaning they are acceptable in BLP. Performing nationally with a well-known hip-hop group, being recognized by a notable member of that group, and performing internationally all indicate some level of importance. From Santa Fe Reporter,"he might be one of the few New Mexican rappers to have toured Europe". From Fuse Weekly, "integral part of Albuquerque’s hip-hop scene for the better part of a decade".

Delete, ~~article creator (above) has been indef blocked for sock puppetry per check user, and their contributions may be reverted or deleted.~~ LocalIQ, ABQ-Live and Santa Fe Reporter are all small local weekly alternative publications or the online equivalent. Coverage in these types of publications is generally associated with promoting local performances and is sometimes even paid PR. Subject needs coverage in more mainstream sources and I'm not finding such coverage. On the way to notability, sure; but doesn't seem to me to meet GNG yet.
