Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO and WP:MUSICBIO. No charted songs or awards. Unable to locate any significant biographical information except for this article in Vice. Most of the sources cited in the article are song lists, or don't even mention him. Magnolia677 ( talk) 00:45, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Nothing here passes any of the notability criteria in WP:NMUSIC, and the article is not referenced anywhere near well enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu. People are not automatically notable enough for articles just because their music technically metaverifies its own existence on YouTube or Spotify or iTunes — the notability test for a musician is the reception of reliable source coverage about him in real media. Of the nine references here, however, three are streaming platforms, two are non-notable blogs, and two are simple directory entries — and of the two that are real media, one completely fails to discuss LB Spiffy or his song at all, and just generally verifies the purely tangential fact that Drake has done "co-signs" without saying anything whatsoever about LB Spiffy's song actually being one of them. The Vice source is good, and does get him off the starting blocks toward a GNG pass — but it doesn't get him to the finish line all by itself as the only good source in play. As always, no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he has a stronger notability claim and better sourcing to support it. Bearcat ( talk) 16:39, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- Delete does not in any way pass the notability guidelines for musicians. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 14:12, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
