The result was delete. I'm closing this early under WP:SNOW. The only keep recommendations are coming from single-purpose accounts, many of which are sockpuppets. The only recommendations coming from established Wikipedia editors, familiar with policy, are to delete the article. —C.Fred (talk) 20:00, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

:Keep I've reorganized the article, added a ton of content, and a number of references. Kjiva appears to be a quite well known and discussed Rapper, especially in aviation circles.

  • Keep:as a borderline pass of WP:BAND as per the significant coverage in the source in the article and smaller coverage in more newspapers that adds up to enough coverage for notability purposes also found more third-party coverage in reliable sources at newspaper.com [https://go.newspapers.com/results.php?query=kjiva&s_place=&date_field= | newspaper] —Margosullivan (talk) 16:47, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

  • Delete a non-notable rapper with the article plagued with lots of non-reliable sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:45, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Delete I generally stay away from assessing non-U.S. musician articles, but the massive amount of keeps (most of which have recently been exposed as WP:SOCKPUPPETRY) intrigued me, considering that the majority of the provided references are user generated. What am I missing? I'm not finding the non-trivial,independent, third party references others claim to. If they exist, someone provide them and I could change my vote. My only question mark is the source Zee News, of which I am unfamiliar. But in reading the links it appears the cited instances of coverage are basically examples of a news source simply printing/rephrasing a press release, which to my interpretation do not add up to significant coverage, especially since there are only two of them.

  • Delete per WP:MUSICBIO. For anyone in academia who claims they don't contribute because MediaWiki is hard to learn, I point you to the self-promoters that create articles like this. Obviously, it's not that hard. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:26, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep He ismarathi rapper not American rapper please note that point the article about marathi rapper in Zee News media india which satisfy WP:BAND notable rapper Rajjones12 (talk) 16:50, 6 September 2016 (UTC) — Rajjones12 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
