I'm not quite sure if this article meets WP:MUSIC. There's definitely no sources given for that, that's for sure. Google searches won't really work for this since Alexipharmic is another name for antidote. In fact, this article was created by "hijacking" the redirect of the article to antidote. Seems to be doing something good with his Darfur efforts, but, is he a notable rapper? Metros232 02:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. Allmusic.com has a listing for a musician with this name, but the only credit relates to a 1997 electronica compilation album. See http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:t4he4jo73wau and http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:jbz1z8ba1yv4 On the other hand, the 20-city tour that he is organizing would presumably mean that he would pass WP:MUSIC if it takes place. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 07:04, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - this dude actually has a proper website (setting itself apart from the droves of musicians with just a MySpace page) - I have added the link to the article so people can make a more informed opinion. I am totally not into this type of music, but will not let that cloud my judgement! Bubba hotep 09:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: "would pass WP:MUSIC if..." is the key. Lots of bands and musicians would pass that guideline if only they'd do some of the things on that guideline. But Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. He does sound like an admirable person, but I think we should wait until he is actually notable (and not just poised-to-become-notable) before we have an article.

- Weak delete: He seems to come kind of close to meeting WP:MUSIC, but isn't really there yet. Heimstern Läufer 23:48, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
