MaC Renegade

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable 16-year-old performer, no reliable sources can be found via Google, nothing in Gnews, no reliable sources in the article, in fact the only link is to his Myspace page (except for a bogus link to Lupe Fiasco's imdb page which was falsely labeled as an imbd page for MaC Renegade, which I have now removed). This page has been speedy deleted twice, it's time to put this to bed. The user keeps creating autobiography pages for himself and won't stop. Who then was a gentleman?

Delete and salt - The article has been recreated a number of times so should be salted. Aside from everything that WTWAG has already said, I believe there's little doubt that the article is a hoax as well, considering many of the outrageous claims. -- Atama頭 23:34, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt - seems to just keep increasing the (outrageous) claims of notability in each subsequent article without citing a single source. Enough already. Singularity42 (talk) 23:38, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete - No sources except social networking sites. Not notable. Snottywong (talk) 23:39, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt – He's got a Myspace page, youtube video, and other self-published sources, so I don't think it's a hoax. I looked but couldn't find any evidence of notability, not even the usual event listings that even non-notable musicians normally have. Maybe he's been mentioned in some local publications with no online presence. Rees11 (talk) 23:50, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - By "hoax" I don't mean that I believe that he doesn't exist. What I mean is that claims such as "Prominent hip hop mogul DJ Jazzy Jeff describes him as 'The next Fresh Prince'" or being associated with The Roots and Gym Class Heroes approach WP:HOAX territory. -- Atama頭 23:58, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Aw, bless! The article is written almost entirely in the first person by the subject himself, and is full of red links to related articles I guess he's planning to create if this one were to survive. I kind of hope he does achieve Notability some day. Contains Mild Peril (talk) 00:17, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Salt Not notable. Repeated recreation of deleted material. Basket of Puppies 02:42, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
