The result of the nomination was delete. Sango123 17:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yet another "underground" rapper claiming notability for listing on Wikipedia. Article shamelessly includes external links to the few sites where the album might actually be purchased. Nothing for sale at amazon.com or towerrecords.com. Google finds 9850 hits for "Cee-rock", and only 548 hits for "cee-rock" +"The Fury". Mikeblas 03:07, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete Unlike most NN musicians Cee-Rock has actually had a commercial realise. That still doesn't cut it with WP:MUSIC. It's possible that he "is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable sub-culture" but the article makes no assertion of this. --IslaySolomon 03:17, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. That release has an amazon.com sales rank of "None". [1] I found a page that seems to claim he was involved with some other artist that charted at 37 in one of Sweeden's Top 40 charts, though that reference is at his own record company's site. [2] Maybe that can lead to something, but I think these "underground" guys aren't notable until they go commercial -- even if only because it's so hard to make a verifiable article about them with any substance. -- 03:35, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Delete per Islay. Perhaps his "dislike" of drugs and bad language earns him some notability, but not enough for me. AdamBiswanger1 03:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete WP:NN and WP:MUSIC -- Alias Flood 22:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete, he's on allmusic and has actually published an album but, as noted by IslaySolomon, I still don't think he's notable per the guidelines of WP:MUSIC. -Big Smooth 21:19, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. According to billboard.com, he hasn't charted anything. -- Mikeblas 22:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
