Non-notable autobiography. This rapper does not appear to meet WP:MUSIC. I was unable to locate any reliable sources that discuss the subject, and none are present. --Bongwarrior (talk) 03:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 06:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Being the son of an ambassador isn't notable. Having two mixtapes released on the internet isn't notable. [http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=KaLiNco&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&hs=l14&start=130&sa=N Only 122 google hits] doesn't look promising. The only reference provided doesn't even mention him. Marasmusine (talk) 09:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Do Not Delete Wikipedia has really become ridiculous and lost what it is set out to do. It is meant to spread information, that is true, throughout the world. Now, KaLiNco is a real rapper, the son of an ambassador, and has performed at events before. A wikipedia page is in order here. Just because he isn't on MTV.com or something does not mean that people should not be able to find out information about him on wikipedia. He has a large following, and people would be interested. Marasmusine has 123 google hits, I have 733. I personally find it horrid and appalling that if KaLiNco were to be put on mtv.com, all of a sudden his page would be noteworthy, just like that. It is noteworthy now. Do the right thing. Wikipedia is now doing the opposite of what they have set out to do by censoring legitimate and important information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gpgorbosjr (talk • contribs) — Gpgorbosjr (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• Delete - The above user's heart is in the right place, but, he/she is failing to comprehend, or is simply not aware of, wikipolicy per WP:MUSIC and WP:NOTE. We need reliable second and third party information about the musician. See here: [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22KaLiNco%22+rapper&hl=en&start=10&sa=N]. There is none.

• Delete Gpgorbosjr's evaluation of Wikipedia may be reasonable, but not for the reason he/she states. IMO it has already been overrun with articles not in keeping with WP:NOT. --- Taroaldo (talk) 19:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Response I understand that Wikipedia is trying to root out people who want to abuse the fine service it provides. However, I can assure you KaLiNco is not one of those people. He is a legit artist, has performed in his career, has many fans, and sells his music although sadly not yet through a label. He will also have a website launching soon, which is not run by him and therefore cannot be considered bias.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gpgorbosjr (talk • contribs) — Gpgorbosjr (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
