Ruggedman
While this might a notable-enough person (Ruggedman indicates a Nigerian rapper), I'm not sure that this page (created without an intro) is actually for him. I found nothing in a quick search that would connect this person with the quote on the page, and the WP article doesn't mention this song or album, and there are but a few search results that connect the two, and even fewer that connect them as artist/album. —LrdChaos (talk) 23:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: keep (four votes to keep, no dissent). —LrdChaos (talk) 14:14, 25 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. —LrdChaos (talk) 23:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't know whether I typed something wrong or Google hiccuped yesterday, but there appear to be far more results for the search "ruggedman - peace or war" when I tried it today. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:37, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm inclined to keep it based on this link, which includes the song "Peace or War" (track 4 of Thy Album Come). I played the song on the link and heard the quote several times. - InvisibleSun 05:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - seems to be notable. Koweja 04:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, although I have reservations about the verifiability of this subject. The "official site" listed on WP is big on flash (literally) and low on accessible substance. All Music Guide currently doesn't seem to have any info on him. The museke.com link InvisibleSun cites currently returns a "403 Forbidden" HTTP error. The Wikipedia article has no cited sources, is full of redlinks, and has inconsistencies (claims a CD in 1991, but states "years active" as 2004 onward, while our single quote claims "Peace or War" is from 2003). I don't care enough to pursue this, but I did reformat the article, properly cite the song source, and correct the quote based on an audio sample I found (which I won't cite here because I didn't check to see if it's fair-use) and two lyrics websites, which all agreed. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
