Singer with questionable notability as well as a autobio. It does mention he was nominated for a award though-not sure how notable the award is (I know this article was deleted earlier as Pkolo Theproducer. Wgolf (talk) 00:14, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I tried pretty hard to find any substantive coverage of this person, but all I seem to come across are his own social media accounts. Quite apart from GNG, BLP requires that we blank most of this; and there would be basically nothing left. Vanamonde93 (talk) 00:53, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Comprehensively fails both WP:GNG and the alternative criteria at WP:CREATIVE. As far as I can see, he claims to be a record producer, rather than a performer. The claim to have been nominated for a New York Music Award for "You Be Killin Em" strikes me as spurious. Pkolo is not listed as the producer. It appears that its artist Fabolous and the song did win this award (which is open only to New York-born or based performers) for the best hip-hop single and video [1]. But I can find no mention of Pkolo in relation to it, even searching under his real name. The only reference in PkoloTheproducer is "Recording Connection grad Pkolo interviews Swizz Beats, appears on Reality Show". It is a brief shout out on the "Student Services" blog of Recording Connection about his progress since leaving his apprenticeship/training there. Interestingly there is no mention whatsoever in that blog post about winning this award or any other one for that matter. Voceditenore (talk) 08:03, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as there's nothing suggesting better satisfying the applicable notability. SwisterTwister talk 21:41, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
