None of the information in this WP:Biography of a living person is confirmed by WP:Reliable independent sources - all sorts of claims are made, including production and composition credits for several famous artists, but removing all of the unsourced and unverifiable information from this article leaves us with no information at all. Can't find a single reliable source online on Shakur Green, Shakir Green or Donnell Green. Top Jim (talk) 14:50, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note that because the name "Shakur Green" is blocked on WP due to repeated re-creation of that article, I had to list this under the altered spelling, so I'll list the previous AFDs here:

Delete and salt per nom and with respect to previous AFD discussions. JNW (talk) 14:55, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete, because this article has been deleted at AfD before. As a second choice, just delete, because I can't find any reliable sources that say this person is the major producer this article claims he is.--Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:14, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sorry, I should have mentioned above that I did nominate it for speedy db-repost, but the declining admin said that the content of the article was different from the last deleted version, and was therefore ineligible. Top Jim (talk) 20:27, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the declining admin. Although the subject is the same, the entire article has been rewritten; G4 only applies when the text is the same. Nyttend (talk) 20:59, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with salt Plenty for a 'Shakir Green' from PA - but it all looks like school football - and possibly a different school to boot. Not much better for 'Shakur Green' (I notice that a previous version had him with that spelling - as does Roynet. Confusing.) If this article is 50% accurate, he's a very busy lad. But it doesn't seem to have been noticed by anyone. And at "around $25,000-35,000 a track", he should be rather wealthy by now, too. He is registered with Roynet (per external link and as '-ur'). That was seven months ago - so he certainly has been busy. Reading some of the entries for other new signings there, I would say with fair certainty that the info posted comes from the signings. I am willing to eat humble pie (probably taste better than this pork chop...) if reliable references are produced for all the claims in the article. Now, there's an incentive...
