Futuristic (rapper)

The subject is not notable and, the article, having been created by an affiliated entity and edited only by SPA IPs, is wholly promotional. The article claims that one of the artist's albums reached #86 on the Billboard charts (which, if true, would establish notability) but I have been unable to verify this claim. If someone can do so then I would withdraw my objections on notability grounds. JohnInDC (talk) 14:03, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not notable and that Billboard claim appears to be wrong. Can't even find the man on Billboard's own site. Yintan 00:50, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
