The result was Keep. Charted hits equals notability. Non-admin closure. TN‑X-Man 18:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a BLP article which lacks sources, there is no evidence of non-trivial coverage by reliable third parties. JBsupreme (talk) 17:26, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep and expand. Asserts notability with two #1's on a notable chart, and it turns out that's not the only chart Boss was on. This is a hard name to Google, but I did find this AMG bio which is certainly non trivial.

- Keep: First Def Jam female rapper. Charted and released by a major label. Law shoot! 21:06, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep. A quick search before nominating would have found plenty - an allmusic bio and review, Detroit Metro Times article, and from Google News, articles in the LA Times amongst others. Try tagging as unreferenced and leaving time for others to find sources next time if you're not prepared to search for sources yourself.--Michig (talk) 21:44, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
