Proposed deletion of Maurice Tha General[edit]

The article Maurice Tha General has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. Only a single mention in Mystreetzmag.com (which is a press release), no other coverage.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – Thjarkur (talk) 15:25, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm Lefcentreright. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kenya, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 23:31, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Barakah The Prince moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Barakah The Prince, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. JK (talk) 20:51, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of words of advice: Firstly, read Wikipedia:Reliable sources. It is a total waste of your time to cite Mdundo.com for anything. As the website makes entirely clear, artists create their own profiles [1]. Wikipedia require third-party sources to establish notability. And secondly, changing the title of a biography while the subject's notability is being questioned may very well be seen as an attempt to avoid scrutiny. It is unlikely to be regarded positively. 109.159.88.21 (talk) 23:45, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started[edit]

Hello, XR98

Thank you for creating Ghosty (producer).

User:Amakuru, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

I was initially slightly unsure if there is enough coverage to demonstrate notability, but the article has citations throughout and there is some coverage so happy to mark it reviewed for now.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with ((Re|Amakuru)). Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Hi @Amakuru: I really appreciate that you have reviewed it and it's fine, Ghosty is top 5 in The UK Hip-Hop/Rap scene thus he fulfils the criteria and the need for him to have his own article was needed. Much appreciated brother. --XR98 (talk) 15:37, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
