Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, WP:MUSICBIO, and WP:VICTIM. No indication of awards or charted songs.
FBG Duck was shot to death August 4, 2020, and his article was deleted two weeks later, per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FBG Duck. None of his posthumous releases were notable. This is mostly a recreation of a murdered rapper's tribute article. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:54, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

- weak keep: Coverage in XXL Magazine and Billboard before he died, shows some critical notice during his active period. Oaktree b (talk) 15:11, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
Keep – FBG Duck meets notability criteria as follows:
- WP:BASIC – There is extensive, in‐depth coverage from reliable sources before his death including XXL Magazine, AllMusic, HotNewHipHop, The Fader, Billboard, and Hypebeast.
- WP:ANYBIO – FBG Duck’s career is established by his achievements notably earning an RIAA Gold Award for his hit song "Slide" and is not defined solely by his death.
- WP:MUSICBIO – Extensive coverage from multiple reliable , including XXL Magazine, AllMusic, HotNewHipHop, The Fader, and Hypebeast as well as his RIAA Gold Award for "Slide"—confirms his significance as a rapper, songwriter.
- WP:VICTIM does not apply – The article focuses on his music career, achievements, long before his death.
I believe this AfD has been made again because of a WP:IDONTLIKEIT bias rather than genuine notability concerns.
and also "None of his posthumous releases were notable." hahahaha go check this for me HotNewHipHop. Momentoftrue (talk) 01:23, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Momentoftrue: As a former five-year-old, I can appreciate your "hahahaha" comment. Had you included the RIAA Gold in the article, I wouldn't have nominated this for deletion. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:15, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
