• Delete. Unclear if artist is notable. Regardless, there is very little information about this artist, as the only external source is through the website allmusic in which does not provide any evidence at all. There isn't any information about being charted. Furthermore, all other internal wiki links have very little information about this artist. The internal links have various claims of being charted, but do not have any sources either. Sadly, there isn't any proof. Does not meet WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG.

• Redirect to Indo Smoke maybe instead of deleting, if that single is independently notable as it seems he is best known for this and News, Books and highbeam all immediately found links including from that time so he got attention but there's nothing to suggest better improvement.

• Comment: There is nothing showing that the single is notable. Maybe I'm missing something? Please feel free to let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Globalmario (talk • contribs) 15:27, 27 September 2015 (UTC) Globalmario (talk) 15:30, 27 September 2015 (UTC)globalmario
• Keep. Good charting. (around 300,000 sold). Adding to the Vibe source already in the article, coverage in {{Citation | last = Darling | first = Cary | author-link = | date = 10 April 1994 | title = ALL SMOKE, NO FLAME? | periodical = The Orange County Register | url = }} - {{Citation | last = Plunkett | first = Richard | author-link = | date = 10 December 1993 | title = Singles | periodical = The Age | url = }} - {{Citation | last = Flick | first = Larry | author-link = | date = 14 January 1995 | title = Situation: Grimm.

Includes mainstream coverage from as far away as Australia. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:42, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
• Comment: Looking at the source, there are two small articles(a sentence or two) stating some information about Mista Grimm and him being a co-publisher with 3 or more people, among hundreds of other artists. I am not convinced these would establish him being notable. Furthermore, there aren't any other sources besides his connections to other Wikipedia pages. Also, I am not exactly sure what it was meant by 300,000 sold, is there a source that shows something of his was sold 300,000 times? I'm also unsure if he did anything by-himself or only material with others.Globalmario (talk) 14:05, 1 October 2015 (UTC)globalmario

::Rubbish. "stating some information about Mista Grimm and him being a co-publisher with 3 or more people, among hundreds of other artists". Nope, the two linked are single reviews. As for the 300,000. Try actually reading the source already in the article. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:18, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep per Duffbeerforme as appears to meet WP:NPERSON. --Rubbish computer 11:15, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and SwisterTwister. Nothing on the search engines show that this artist meets WP:GNG, WP:NMUSIC, or WP:BIO. Citations provided by the editor above do not rise to the level of in-depth coverage necessary to establish notability. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:43, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

::User:Onel5969. How do the The Orange County Register and The Age sources "not rise to the level of in-depth coverage necessary"? Have you seen them? duffbeerforme (talk) 04:15, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
