Verbs (rapper)

Unsourced stub article about a non-notable rapper. Unsourced claims such as "has achieved respect in the industry". Candy-Panda 09:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A note on the nomination, an article being unsourced is a case where deletion may not be necessary. Unsourced claims within the article is not a reason for deletion at all. This artist satisfies WP:MUSIC by having multiple works released through Gotee —siro χ o

Delete - no evidence from reliabls sources that WP:MUSIC is met. Added his albums to the nomination. MER-C 10:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- He has multiple release on Gotee, so WP:MUSIC is indeed met. —siro χ o 15:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep, does claim notability (less clear from previous current version, but merged back now with an older version). Mathmo ^Talk

Decided to dig around a little, came across this:

In 1994, Knowdaverbs moved to Nashville to link with Gotee Records' hip-hop group, GRITS, as their dancer and hype man. He soon began guest appearances on several of GRITS' songs and videos including "Hopes and Dreams" and "Plagiarism" the latter of which charted to #8 on BET's Rap City's Top 10. His talent caught the eye of Gotee Records CEO, Toby McKeehan, who soon approached Knowdaverbs to record an album.

The video for the title track received a great response with rotation on Fish TV, BET's Lift Every Voice, Jam Zone and Rap City.

Would appear that it does too meet what is required. There is probably a lot more out there that can't be found easily through use of google because this is from pre-internet days (or at least the widespread use of it). Mathmo ^Talk 10:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Found reviews and news articles on Cross Rhythms [1]. Even ignoring the significant amount of coverage I'd expect there would be offline it would appear that there is still enough to be found online for notability and sourcing to be covered for this.

Strong Keep for the topic, as he has multiple release for Gotee so he satisfies WP:MUSIC, however, the article is currently a copyvio from allmusic.com [2] so must be dealt with apropriately. —siro χ o 15:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
