The result was delete. I don't see the keep rationales as persuasive. If he popularized the term "clout" and was such a prominent figure, surely there would be sources? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 14:18, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is presumably because he did not have a Wikipedia page. Most people listed in the article like Chief Keef come from the exact same crew/group. Drill music being mostly a genre of back-and-forth beef, FBG Duck was from the opposite crew as Chief Keef. He was arguably the biggest rapper from that side. For some reason he did not collaborate with larger artists, nor did he do much media appearances. But anyone familiar with the drill music scene knows that Duck is at least one of the top 10 if not top 5 biggest drill artists of all times, based on not only views (100s of Millions) but also notability. --Numkalcon (talk) 00:39, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Do you have a verifiable source confirming the "clout" statement? That sounds like a major stretch.

  • He is not mentioned in the drill music article. Stephen 05:34, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • CommentHe should probably be put in the drill music article. For confirming the popularization of the Clout thing, I have my doubts (seems likely that it gained status because it rhymes with about and doubt, etc; 'out' is a rather unique Anglo-Saxon sound, without too many rhymes for it -- although rhyme.com lists 56 rhymes with out, most are unusable). Whether he's the unique vector of the word's current popularity I do not know, but he did claim to be. Babyinthebarn (talk) 12:21, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The subject is not an independent, reliable source for his own claims. Ifnord (talk) 19:43, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per
    WP:BLP1E. I'm not convinced by the keep arguments - we need to see evidence in reliable sources that he was influential in drill music, not just assertions.-- P-K3 (talk) 19:00, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply

    WP:MUSICBIO. Unable to locate (except obituaries) any significant biographical details except this, which is a primary source interview. No indication of awards or charted songs. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:16, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply

    WP:ITSIMPORTANT arguments: if the subject was really such a key figure as all of that, there would be reliable sources saying so. There are not; the obvious conclusion is that he wasn't. Ravenswing 00:57, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply
