Deletion of Black the Ripper

Comment: I would suggest that JoyRider reads  to see why those are not considered reliable independent sources. Also, I would point out to them that merely showing that something exists is not showing that it has significance or notability. If grimepedia were really a wiki, it would be rejected. As a pay site, it is also rejected. The forum part is also rejected. YouTube merely shows that someone exists. Amazon too is merely establishing existence - they will list almost anything. What we are after is totally independent sources that show that the subject is of note. The article claims various things. We need verifiable proof () in the reliable independent sources I referred to. I agree with FisherQueen that there are claims to significance. But I don't feel they are proven

Comment: It arguably meets criterion 12 of , based on a segment on MTV that can be seen in video form http://www.mtv.co.uk/music/urban/259996-black-the-ripper-the-interview-video here (no longer available though).  But I argue that this broadcast segment is not "substantial." More importantly, though, I simply don't think it meets , because I cannot find a single independent and reliable source outside the MTV thing, which is really just a brief interview and not much of a profile/bio on the subject

Comment: Decent coverage in one Reliable Source - the MTV clip, I am assuming since it is not available, and the text - is not enough to meet . And I think  factor 12 is looking for something closer to a segment about the person on Behind the Music or a 20/20 (U.S. TV series) than a quick clip. I think it would need to the "featured subject" not just a guest
