Non-notable rapper. A fair number of the sources on the article are dead or useless for notability, and I've found nothing usable via a search (string:"Dillon Cooper"). The closest source to usable on the article is the Pigeons and Planes source, and honestly it's probably the best source I can find overall. — A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 12:55, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

- Comment I've also tried to find sources. I found and added a few (Vibe is a very short piece, XXL a bare mention, BET a bare mention) and wasn't able to find much. Artist's website doesn't appear to have been updated since 2014, and there doesn't seem to be much else. —valereee ( talk) 15:51, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - Early in his career, he got some nice introductory mentions from the reliable Complex ( [1]) and Vibe ( [2]), but those don't get too far beyond softball interviews, and then his career fizzled out. As the nominator mentioned, the current article is dependent on sources that are either dead or only mentioned him indirectly. Beyond that, I can find nothing beyond a rush of social media promotions from around 2013-16 that called him up-and-coming (ahhh, what couldv'e been...), and none of this adds up to the requirements for a Wikipedia article. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 15:14, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
