From the initial AFD: "Non-notable rapper, article is sorely lacking references. Artist has released mixtapes but no actual albums, no hit singles. Fails WP:MUSIC. If artist becomes notable some day in the future, article can easily be re-created." The AFD was closed as keep with the admin adding "I'd support a relisting for deletion if the article's deficiencies are unaddressed after a few months"—no substantial changes have been made to the article since then (January 2008) and his debut album still hasn't been released. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 15:38, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete The Allmusic source checks out, and he was on a compilation with Eminem, but besides that I'm finding no sources unrelated to the compo he was on. If there was one more source I might say weak keep. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 16:10, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• In a library database of newspaper and magazine articles, a search for "Bobby Creekwater" turns up 74 articles. A few of them are borderline-trivial mentions, saying that he participated in Detroit's Hip Hop Summit Action Network in 2006. The vast majority of the non-trivial mentions relate to the album Eminem Presents: the Re-Up. We could redirect to that article, but one problem is that there is verified content that would not fit neatly there. But, more than that, I think this artist actually passes WP:MUSIC criterion #1, with not just the multiple mentions related to that album, but also the Allmusic source, and a review in Newsweek for his recording Anthem to the Streets. I've added several citations. Keep. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:27, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
