Subject is non-notable rapper that is full of weasel words and predictions. Most of it is unreferenced and in the future tense or--from what I can tell--outright made up. Google shows me nothing of Lil' King other than the usual myspace stuff. There have been a series of articles by User:Girlsalltheway2009 and User:Livinglifetoothefullest about this artist and related groups, all of which suffer from the same issues. The article The Best King Music Group is completely made up. (That one I have nominated for CSD but, since the prod tags have been removed from other articles in this series ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Kingz_Of_Nature&diff=233155816&oldid=233152353 example 1], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Kingz_Of_Nature&diff=233467858&oldid=233466094 example 2], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=To_Serve_%26_Collect_The_Way_I_Was&diff=233158708&oldid=233153087 example 3], I'll include it here too.) I'll add all of them to this nomination because they all fail WP:MUSIC and WP:CRYSTAL, and might be vandalism. Girlsalltheway2009 has a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Girlsalltheway2009&oldid=233468455 stated conflict of interest in the topic]. justinfr (talk) 03:53, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

  • I don't know if this is the place, but they've also created a category and template for this:

  • Comment. I should point out that many of the articles have claims of notability. There are, however, no references. Since many of the articles in this series play loose with the facts, I suggest that anything unreferenced is probably untrue. justinfr (talk) 04:08, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

:*Further, it appears the anonymous IP 24.155.200.56 is selectively inserting references to Lil' King (and somebody named Troy Rodriguez) into other articles (see his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/24.155.200.56 contributions] for the full list of diffs--basically every one).I suggest this is further evidence of vandalism. The user uses tables and templates quite proficiently, suggesting it's a veteran user not a newbie. I'm going to suggest a checkuser and report him for disruptive editing if this continues. justinfr (talk) 04:32, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

:*Comment. You're right, the author is a sockpuppet. I've listed them all here. justinfr (talk) 14:08, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
