Hello. I have considered SPEEDYing A7 this article about a publicist and tour manager. The two claims of significance in the introduction are:

  1. "in 2013 he was named a 'Hip Hop Tastemaker' by VIBE Magazine" - this is a rather wild interpretation of the source,
  2. "in 2016 Holder digitally integrated GOOD Music artist, Desiigner’s, Grammy nominated single Panda which received the RIAA certification of 4x platinum" - this is supported (and clarified) by a source that can be found in the reference section of the article, ie this HuffPost post. It may be a credible claim of significance, but it does not assert notability.

Staying on the article's reference section, it contains 4 sources that are centered on the topic:

  1. - a Twitter interview published on what appears to be a blog(?),
  2. - the aforementioned Huffington Post's Contributor post,
  3. - an article at AllHipHop,
  4. - a BuzzFeed Community post.

This may look like the beginning of something, but it should be noted that 3 of these 4 sources are written by the same person, David Bullock. According to the current version of his Wikipedia article, David Bullock is a publicist. Furthermore, his name appears in the "associated acts" field of the Quinelle Holder infobox. Let me just quote from WP:GNG:

If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.

I have done some WP:BEFORE ("Quinelle Holder", "Coach Q Holder"...), and out of the 100+ Google results, I could not find anything of interest. On YouTube, there is a video of him with Kendrick Lamar that has 2000+ views. His personal web site www.quinelleholder.com says "Read Full Bio via Wikipedia".
