Fails WP:SINGER, WP:COMPOSER, and WP:GNG. The article is full of incorrect information. The article states that Clyde McKnight has had three songs ("Simon Sez", "Drop It Down", and "Rockstar") on the Billboard chart; it's wrong (see billboard.com). The article states that he was featured on Lisa Lopes's "Block Party" off of Eye Legacy; it's wrong (see apple.com). The article states that he wrote Willow Smith's "21st Century Girl" and Mario's "Somebody Else"; it's wrong (see sony.com and warnerchappell.com). I googled Clyde McKnight's name, but couldn't find significant coverage in third-party reliable sources. 118.8.88.129 (talk) 13:52, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete Lolololol Every link on the page is dead but here's his Twitter account. Not remotely notable. Reywas92^Talk 19:23, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per WP:HOAX - The nominator is correct about false assertions, as someone recently vandalized "21st Century Girl"; "Somebody Else", and "Block Party" to insert this guy's name in the credits. Unfortunately a few of those have been copied to other websites, which will probably result in more misinformation. Once we get past the untruths, Mr. McKnight has nothing but self-created social media promotions and stuff he put on YouTube himself. The chart section in McKnight's article has completely false chart information, and note that his so-called "collaborators" -- YG (rapper) and DJ Mustard -- have never talked about him. Also, he would have been less than ten years old at the time of his supposed collaboration with Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, which you'd think would get some news coverage. Note that searching can be tough because there are at least two other people of the same name: a much older criminal defendant and someone related to Brian McKnight. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:34, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
