Delete Half of these are unreliable sources such as small time blogs or "pay to play" type services such as Hype Magazine (see this [1] on how to get coverage.) The reliable sources cited are not about this person, rather, they are references to things mentioned in this article (such as Kayne West's Donda House) but are not coverage about this person.

- Non-notable? You clearly know nothing about hip hop. This artist is associated with Kanye West. It's time for this unfair bias against hip hop artists to stop. I can't understand why Wikipedia censors hip hop topics so much. MaghrebiFalafel (talk) 02:49, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep First of all, read the article. The nominator has a history of targeting notable hip hop artists. Hex Hectic has worked with Rhymefest and DLow and graduated from a selective program closely associated with Kanye West's mother. Do you even know who Kanye West is? No hip hop enthusiast would want to delete articles like this. MaghrebiFalafel (talk) 02:49, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You missed WP:NOTINHERITED: Having some relationship with a notable subject doesn't cause another notable subject. The very first example of what doesn't make someone notable by themselves is "once worked with someone famous". An even better example of stretching it would be "graduated from a selective program closely associated with Kanye West's mother. Do you even know who Kanye West is?" --Closeapple (talk) 17:32, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Look at the sources. The Chicago Tribune, Respect magazine, and People magazine aren't good enough? You aren't even following the policies listed on WP:RS. MaghrebiFalafel (talk) 03:25, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MaghrebiFalafel, before you start judging other editors and Wikipedia at large, why don't you familiarize yourself with the guidelines first? You've been here less than a month and you got a total of 41 edits to your name. This is not helping your case. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 08:03, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- I spent countless hours reading the guidelines and hitting the preview button who knows how many times. The coding was hard to master and I spent hours looking at different examples of hip hop artists trying to make this work. Please don't make assumptions. MaghrebiFalafel (talk) 06:04, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Right, because "You clearly know nothing about hip hop" is not an assumption? If you did read the guidelines, maybe go over them again, because you are very WP:UNCIVIL towards others, in other deletion discussions as well. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 08:18, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RS by itself isn't the standard for notability; it's WP:SIGCOV: The reliable sources have to provide significant (not just passing mentions, short pieces, or routine schedule) coverage that is independent of the subject (not subject-controlled stories). --Closeapple (talk) 17:59, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's WP:REFBOMBed to look like something, but there are barely any sources on the subject. The Chicago Tribune certainly is notable, but the articles "Donda’s House — named after Kanye’s mom — changes name after Kardashian-Rhymefest beef" and "El comentario que hizo el DJ Julián 'Jumpin’ Pérez en el Festival Cubano que le costó su participación en My House Music Festival" don't mention Hex at all. Neither does People's "Kanye West's Nonprofit Donda's House Gives Chicago's Young People Access to the Arts". Comic Vine is just a listing. There's barely anything about the musical artists Hex Hectic at all. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 08:03, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
