The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Nomination withdrawn per sources found. As a side note, this was originally a speedy deletion nomination, which means WP:BEFORE doesn't apply here since it was a matter of the article giving one no reason to suspect that sources could be found. Speedy deletion is for the "don't bother looking" cases, which fit the early versions of this article pretty well. If any of the sources below is added, the article can no longer be speedied. Non-admin closure. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 22:58, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy tag removed by an IP. No assertion of notability, speedy contested solely on the grounds that this rapper is "new" (which is usually a good reason to justify deletion if "new" means "not yet discovered by the public"). Speedy delete. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 13:48, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Snow Keep per patent lack of WP:BEFORE. Article already has a RS (from Italian magazine TV Sorrisi e Canzoni), the relevant article on Italian Wikipedia shows more (such as Panorama), a minimal search on Google reveals a lot more (Wired, Rolling Stone, La Repubblica, Il Corriere della Sera, TGCom, again La Repubblica), Il Cittadino).

Keep, but because of notability, not because of lack of WP:BEFORE. The sources provided by Cavarrone do show notability, but the onus to provide evidence of notability rests on those wishing to add or keep content. (See Wikipedia:Verifiability.) WP:BEFORE says that one should "take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources", but I have frequently taken significant efforts to find such evidence and yet missed evidence which someone else found very quickly, because they happened to look at different links than I did. We should assume that the nominator took reasonable steps in good faith unless there is evidence to the contrary. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:42, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry James, but if you do not make a minimal search on Google News [1] nor you take a look at relevant articles on other-languages-Wikipedia, it means you have not done "significant efforts" to find such coverage. Cavarrone (talk) 12:14, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
