states that an artist "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary
Knowledge standards, including verifiability." Verifiability under "your" (wikipedia's) terms is whether readers are able to check that material added to Knowledge has already been published by a reliable source. The common theme in the "notability guidelines" is the requirement for verifiable objective evidence to support a claim of notability, which all of our sources do. Substantial coverage in reliable sources constitutes such objective evidence, as do published peer recognition and the other factors listed in the subject specific guidelines. School and university newspapers would therefore be classified as "published peer recognition." So don't debate that university newspapers are not "reliable." In conclusion, don't refute that Bee Money is not notable. According to WP:BIO #7, he is. That is sufficient. Read our sources THOROUGHLY. Do not say that our sources do not establish notability. According to your terms, "published peer recognition and the other factors (which are met) is considered substantial coverage as a reliable sources.

City." That's straight from the Provo
Knowledge page, which means it is very notable. Probably also the same page you looked at to get your last statistic but then failed to keep reading in order to find out that Provo is the principal city of the second largest metro area in Utah not just an isolated city of only 117,592 people. Plus that is a completely ridiculous statement to say that all it takes to become a prominent rap figure in Provo is a couple of live gigs! You come to Provo and rap, or for that matter perform live whatever you want, and I guarantee no one knows your name and you don't get half as many fans as Bee Money! ONE OUT!-
408:. He has be the subject of secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent from the subject. This criteria is met by the school newspaper. Bee Money is not a student at Brigham Young University and never has been. The newspaper is also a reputable paper. Further, Bee Money is also notable under the additional criteria for entertainers. He has a large fan base in the Utah Valley region and his following could be considered a "cult" following. Also his fight for clean music is a unique and innovative contribution to the rap industry. Further Emerson meets the criteria
577:- This article appears to be notable seeing as he is the only representative of the Provo, UT rap scene which contains two major Universities, Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University. Thats over 55,000 students in one valley. Who are the biggest rap fans? kids age 20-30 aka college kids and so if theres only one rapper, everyone knows him and they'll want to look him up and figure out his story and where would they turn? wikipedia unless you fetchers try to delete it. dont hate!

it's non-notable, and no information is included on how one might go about obtaining a copy. Lastly, the article doesn't assert him to be "the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city" - whether you're talking about rap generally, clean rap, or the entirely non-notable rap scene of Provo, UT - and neither do any of the sources. (And his "hits" don't meet any of the criteria under

747:, you'll see that ""Sources," for notability purposes, should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability.

Well DustFormsWords you seem to have done your research, unfortunately you failed to take into account that "Provo is also the principal city in the Provo-Orem metropolitan area, with an estimated population of 540,820 residents. It is the second largest metro area in the state behind Salt Lake

saying he's notable. The sources provided so far are not cutting it, and you guys saying he's awesome and an advocate for stuff doesn't help at all. (Oh, and calling people names and saynig "don't hate!" doesn't help much either.) At present, the subject fails
819:- (still sticking by my Delete vote above) - Just wanted to point out that Provo, UT is a city of only 117,000 people and being a prominent figure on its rap scene is presumably not much harder than performing a couple of live gigs. -
