MO3 (rapper) previously had its own article, which was proposed for deletion for being non-notable and promotional. It was later changed to a redirect to Boosie Badazz, an entirely different person, and then to MO3, which is even less related, as it is a music file format and not a person in the first place. The article was recreated as Mo3 (rapper) and deleted almost instantly for being non-notable and promotional. The article was changed to a redirect to MO3 and the redirect was listed for deletion, with the resolution "restore and bring to AfD". So the original problem with promotion and lack of references has come back. I propose to delete this. JIP | Talk 02:12, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or redirect - Keep, or redirect to Boosie_Badazz#Health. --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:54, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete then redirect to Boosie Badazz. Article fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:03, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or redirect - a quick search reveals several songs on YouTube with 10s of millions of views. Seems pretty well-known; if not kept, redirect to Boosie Badazz but to a new "Collaborations" section, not to Health. = paul2520 💬 22:13, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul2520: What part of WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, or WP:MUSICBIO is supported by "several songs on YouTube with 10s of millions of views"? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:30, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See Atlantic306's comments below. Thank you. = paul2520 💬 01:21, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep passes WP:NMUSIC criteria 2 (only one criteria needed) with charting Billboard hits including placements on the Billboard 200,(136) Billboards rap chart (14) heatseekers (1 and 2) as confirmed in his staff written AllMusic bio here which was written before his death which shows he was notable before his death which was covered in multiple reliable sources, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:45, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Another suitable target may be Boosie Badazz discography#Collaboration albums. --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:20, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As he clearly passes WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG as detailed in my earlier comment the article should be kept rather than redirected, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:26, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Reply - @Atlantic306:, I do not disagree with you about keeping the article. With that said, if the article can not be kept, it should be redirected with history in tact. --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:19, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
