Non-notable entertainer. None of the sources are in depth coverage and nothing else exists that I can find that would support his inclusion in Wikipedia. It's obvious paid editing and PR spam. Praxidicae (talk) 15:41, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article is promotional in tone, not encyclopedic.TH1980 (talk) 00:50, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - most of the article is run of the mill trivia, but if it can be sourced with independent references that he actually did tour the BET college circuit, he might be notable. Bearian (talk) 17:07, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The subject is notable and there are a lot of reliable references. Adding more reliable and in-depth coverage articles will be better solution than deletion. According to what Bearian questioned, "Did he tour the BET college circuit", he actually did. I saw references, will share them here if it is good to share here.

~~Keep~~ First of all, the general notability is clear from general search (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL). Secondly, the subject has been part of the notable events, TV shows, and movies like BET, CW network, WorldStar Hip Hop, Coca Cola, The Corner, directed by Charles Dutton, and the HBO series The Wire.

Regarding his presence in the Black College Tour here are some links, [[1]],[[2]], [[3]], [[4]], [[5]].

Also, here are some links that discuss the subject in detail. [[6]], [[7]], [[8]]XenoYar (talk) 08:30, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

XenoYar You may only vote once. Second please see WP:COI and third, none of your sources are independent coverage. Also appearing in the wire as a minor unnnamed character is meaningless, as there were hundreds of extras. Praxidicae (talk) 14:31, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
