Rapper who does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC, coverage cited in the article consists almost entirely of social media, as well as a single passing mention. A search only brought up this, which is pretty clearly not a reliable source. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 03:45, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

- Keep This artist was the first mentor, collaborator and producer of notable star rapper
The Kid Laroi. Being the mentor of a notable artist is enough for a credible claim of significance
WP:SIGNIF. The artist is still prominent in the South Australian music scene today. South Australia is not known for embracing rap music or local artists so getting written press would be difficult. What is provided here as references are quite credible, especially ABC Radio Adelaide, Hype Magazine and The Scene. The Facebook pages noted are a credible timeline of Marcus Jr working with The Kid Laroi and the projects and songs they worked on at the time. I believe this page is valid and important to the history of the rap artist The Kid Laroi as most has been wiped from the internet most likely by Sony Music when signing him. Instagram post by Marcus Jr detail that too.

- Delete. An unambiguous failure of GNG and NMUSIC. Like Schwede66 I can't find a single reliable source that mentions this guy. Notability is not inherited from working with a notable rapper early in his career. – Lord Bolingbroke ( talk) 15:58, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
