Comment - The references you've pointed to appear dubious at best, with respect to "reliability". Perhaps adding them to the article will put them more into context? Otherwise, I'm going to have to go with a delete... —

Comment. I don't quite see how you managed to miss those sources when you looked at the Google links I provided: they're right there on the first page of results in each case. But, anyway, thanks for changing your !vote.

Comment. The note at the bottom of the article explains its origin (but not its sourcing) as another GFDL compliant Wiki. I've added some references which I hope make notability crystal clear for those who couldn't see it by looking at the searches that I linked above.

Correction. OK, I see that this was copied from a Wikipedia mirror, but it doesn't detract from the fact that this article was sourceable (and is now sourced) to many reliable book and newspaper sources.

Keep - I had nominated the article for undeletion last month. But only a few revisions have been restored. I have asked the admin
User:Chick Bowen for a complete restoration dating back to 2005. By the way, what is "Prod"?

Reply. The Smash Hits version says that it is a copy from Wikipedia, presumably from one of the previously deleted versions, not vice-versa. I'm sure you'll find that the CrazeFM version is also a copy from Wikipedia. This could be clarified if the complete history was restored as suggested by Jay.

The wording "(citation = his website (see external links))" makes the CrazeFM version look very much like a copy from Wikipedia, as it doesn't make sense in the CrazeFM profile but would in a Wikipedia article.

Yes, I agree that the "external links reference" suggests a copy from Wikipedia (in which case it's a GFDL violation for them, of course, but that's a different matter). I've
restored the complete history.

Keep - He is a well known rapper in India. I think the question is no longer on the notability but on the quality of the article. We should fix the article and not delete it. --
