The referencing for this article looks pretty impressive, but if you look closely you'll see the citations are all from (1) IMDB (2) self-published sources, or sources closely associated with Burns, and (3) yet more IMDB. I'm unable to find anything verifying the subject's notability - he's released several albums, all himself, and while there's a claim to a 1-year contract with Def Jam, the only citation provided is self-published (and since when do you need a contract to publish to iTunes?

Bottom line: not notable. Ironholds (talk) 23:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
