Recreation of a prohibited article on an unknown or less known person that fails at WP:MUSICBIO, WP:NOTABILITY and WP:REFERENCE. This page should be prohibited from ever being recreated on Wikipedia ever again like other lesser known people or facts.

•  Administrator note - this discussion was closed early (after only 5 minutes) by Callanecc as a WP:G4 speedy deletion. This action was challenged at deletion review, where multiple editors observed that the recent creation is not similar to the version that was deleted by discussion eight and a half years ago, and so the deletion criteria was invalid and the action has been reverted. Please allow this discussion to run for the full seven days to determine consensus regarding the current version. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 20:57, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
• Keep. Sufficient volume of coverage in reliable sources to at least pass WP:NBASIC. —Alalch E. 23:30, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

• Keep. Significant non-primary coverage in multiple reliable music related sources (per WP:MUSIC/SOURCE) such as Pitchfork, Complex, and MTV as well as in dept coverage by The Post and Courier. This should satisfy for a WP:GNG pass. Perhaps Speedy Keep should be in question considering that the nominator failed to a provide specific reasoning choosing to make vague statements about the rapper not being non-notable and wanting its deletion because it was deleted in the past. Applying the logic that articles that were deleted once in the past should never be recreated ever again as the nominator suggested in the Talk Page, prominent rappers such as Nicki Minaj and Lil Uzi Vert would not have articles right now. As the final nail in the coffin, I would like to remind the nominator that in the first AfD, the nominator himself recognized that Speaker Knockerz was potentially notable and explicitly expressed a non-prejudice against recreation would the article be of quality.

• Speedy Keep per WP:SKCRIT #1: No policy based deletion rationale is articulated. On the merits, it appears to pass GNG, but that's not even in question, as the nomination statement does not acknowledge the changes made in the article. Jclemens (talk) 01:21, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
