None of the information in this biography of a living person is confirmed by reliable independent sources - in fact, I couldn't find any published writing at all about Shakur Green. Wikipedia's rules don't permit us to publish unsourced information, and removing all of the unsourced and unverifiable information from this article leaves us with no information at all.

Added article. The author has created the equally unsourced Shakur Green discography, which I'd like to add to this AfD. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:56, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, mostly because of the repeated attempts to remove the tag.--intelati 22:53, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are full of it. every article I create on here gets deleted. Shakur Green is a real producer , Kane Beatz has wikipedia page and it's poorly written why isn't that deleted? and it's unsourced. Shakur Green page has been sourced and he is a real producer I interviewed him on HOT 97. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheInsider299 (talk • contribs)
- every article I create on here gets deleted. Maybe that should tell you something. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 23:38, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - The only other article this editor has created was Shakur Greene. I'm sure that if User:TheInsider299 will read WP:MUSIC and WP:RS, she'll understand why this article was nominated for deletion, and be better able to succeed at Wikipedia in the future. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:39, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Shakur Greene was, in fact, a copy of Shakur Green, and even gave the name as "Green", not "Greene". Thus "every article I create" actually means "this article, which I have made two copies of". As for Kane Beatz, I suggest looking at WP:OTHERSTUFF. As for "Shakur Green is a real producer", you may like to read Wikipedia:Existence ≠ Notability. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:19, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability, either in the article or elsewhere. (I can find Green on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace... but nothing better.) The only reason given here for keeping is "Shakur Green is a real producer". The article is also written in terms such as "He’s a burgeoning, musician / producer / writer, based in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, and his works are sure to be heard for many years to come", which is purely promotional.

Delete I've performed the same searches with the same result: no evidence of notability whatsoever. Favonian (talk) 14:17, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. After various searches, I can't find any reliable sources to show that Mr. Green currently meets WP's notability criteria. That's not to say that this will not change in the future, of course.--Slp1 (talk) 22:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
