Deletion of Checkmate (rapper) (2nd nomination)

Comment: Having a "feat." credit on another band's song is not an automatic notability freebie in its own right — a person has to be the ''subject'' of |reliable source coverage in ''media'' to qualify for a Wikipedia article, and does not get a free exemption from that just because you have the ''words'' "Rascalz, Checkmate, Kardinal and Thrust, Choclair coming down with the Northern Touch" earworming their way through your brain. While the guy did release some of his own music separately from that, I can't find any evidence that he accomplished anything in the process that would pass  — and while "checkmate rapper" gets 67 hits in ProQuest, none of them are ''about'' him for the purposes of getting him over  — every single one of them is just a brief mention of his existence in coverage about "Northern Touch" itself. Unfortunately, that sort of "namechecking" coverage doesn't assist in establishing notability. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can actually find sources which are substantively covering him in the context of his ''own'' music, rather than passingly mentioning him in coverage of Rascalz' music
