A rapper that falls under too soon, only link on here goes to the page novelist as well. No need for a page at least yet Wgolf (talk) 17:47, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

- Keep I created the article as Novelist currently meets the following criteria from WP:MUSBIO
1. He has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent. Including Resident Advisor, Fact (UK magazine), Mixmag, Complex (magazine) and The Independent
8. Has been nominated for a major music award - the MOBO awards recieve extensive mainstream coverage in the UK. The ceremony is broadcast live on ITV and the nominations have already been covered by the BBC, The Guardian, The Independent, Fact ect
11. his music has received national rotation in the UK on BBC Radio 1Xtra and Rinse FM
12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network multiple times. BBC Radio 1Xtra dedicated substantial airtime to Novelist in a documentary about grime broadcast in 2013 and he has also recorded multiple guest set for the station.
I also think a strong argument can be made under 7. "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city." for his current prominence in the London grime scene. Arials101 (talk) 20:32, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

- Keep - notable. Received sufficient media coverage and he's on the next episode of Channel 4's new series, Four to the Floor. Plus not every grime artist gets nominated for a MOBO! --DJUnBalanced 20:21, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
