Status of this article[edit]

While this article, here and at Futuristic (rapper), has been deleted before, once as the result of a deletion discussion and then speedily afterwards, I believe it now passes muster. False claims are gone, the tone is no longer promotional, and notability under WP:NMUSIC has been established through the two Top R&B/Hip Hop Album rankings. I've posted a request to unprotect Futuristic (rapper) so that this article can now be moved there. —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:12, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've unprotected and moved the page. The article needs more non-primary sources, but notability should be established via the Billboard charts. At the very least it's enough to where if it is to be deleted again, it should be via a deletion discussion, but Billboard has some of the most respected charts in the US so it shouldn't be an issue now.

Reliable sources added: It meets notability[edit]

The article lacked reliable sources and depth coverage as well; I have added this to the article. News articles from Forbes, XXL Mag, HipHopDX, AXS, among other reliable sources that meet guidelines for notability here at Wikipedia. I've also removed any advertisement-sounding tone and irrelevant information. The Billboard charts link should also provide further evidence of notability, as the subject has peaked in the top Hip hop and R&B charts. Scorpion293 (talk) 19:11, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
