Hi @ReaderofthePack. The page Loonie (rapper) has been under protection since 2015 (see the protection log here). I'm requesting that it be unprotected. I've submitted a draft through AfC, and once a reviewer looks at it and decides it's notable (if possible), the article can be restored or moved back to the mainspace. Thank you.

I have no problem undoing the protection once it's accepted. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 19:04, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

I moved the draft to the main space here using the disambiguation "musician" instead of "rapper" without reviewing it first. AdobongPogi ^{masarap 🍛} 04:01, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Be careful about skipping past AfC, particularly when dealing with a topic that has been deleted several times via speedy deletion. There is still a chance that the article could get nominated for deletion. Offhand he seems to be notable, but it's always best to be careful. The more an article has been deleted, the more difficult it becomes to establish notability. I'm going to ping Sam Sailor, one of the people who nominated the prior versions for deletion. If they say that the article now passes NARTIST, then you're pretty much golden. If they have concerns, it's extremely important that you resolve them in order to ensure that the article remains live. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 20:08, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Nice work on the article. I thought I went all in on the WP:BEFORE and then you KO'd me with one hell of a WP:HEY. I don't know if manually withdrawing violates my topic ban, however. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:59, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

LOL, no worries about not seeing it - I had to super dig for that one. The sourcing didn't initially show up in my first sweep but did in a second, so I think this is one of those cases where it's all up to just sheer chance.

I think I'm still a little paranoid about my historically subpar track record of AFDs. That's why some of them I've been absurdly specific in most of my WP:BEFOREs. Even Calamity Jane (grunge band) wound up with someone out-digging me, but hey, at least that means the article is improved.

If anyone questions you on this one, I'll go to bat for you. This was legit not easy to find good sourcing for, as so much of it is local. Most of the sourcing on the page is local, I just used it to flesh out stuff here and there. I didn't really think he was truly notable until I found that book source.
