Doesn't satisfy the criteria specified here. Specifically, "The Hardest" has not been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. Aditya (talk) 17:29, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced and non-notable per WP:ARTIST (is mentioned once, in passing, in the NTY article linked), so delete and redirect to Graffiti Research Lab. Unitanode 20:22, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Per Dcs's post below, I've added that I believe this article should be redirected to GRL. Unitanode 00:58, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge with Graffiti - graffiti art by its very nature resists the kind of coverage one needs for notability. The case is interesting (though likely non-notable) because it seems he was being made a case by New York - for whatever reason - and caused the Brooklyn graffiti community to fundraiser and rally on his behalf, to pay his legal fees which the artist describes as being debilitating. Also seems much of the press related to this is associated with his pals Graffiti_Research_Lab - who are notable enough. You sometimes see this, groups take on a cause, only to get press for themselves.... Whatever the case, he shouldn't have his own page, he's not notable enough in his own right.
