Advertorialized WP:BLP (actually WP:AUTOBIO if you check the creator's username, because he didn't even try to obscure his identity) about a musician not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC.
For starters, the page was actually created at the title "New drill king from Ghana" rather than his name -- but we title articles with the subject's name, not with promotional marketing statements, so I've had to move the page.
But even more importantly, even the body text is written in a promotional manner, and is failing to document any specific achievements that could be measured against NMUSIC criteria at all, and it's referenced entirely to primary sources (Twitter, Instagram, the results page of a Google search) and blogs while not showing one shred of WP:GNG-worthy coverage in reliable sources at all.
As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which emerging musicians are free to write about themselves in an advertorial manner -- but nothing here, either in the content or the sourcing, satisfies our inclusion standards at all. Bearcat (talk) 12:14, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
