The article was moved to draft space as it is nowhere near meeting requirements listed at WP:NMUSIC and WP:NOTABILITY because it is primarily sourced and lacks neutrality (references are not well written). However, the creator insists on moving it to main article space. Neo the Twin (talk) 17:58, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No in-depth independent coverage. The author was given ample time to provide ones while in draft space. Loew Galitz (talk) 18:35, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note This is not the first time this kind of stuff happens with this editor, see for ex. Draft:St. Raphael's Secondary School and this notice I left them (which was later removed without seemingly being understood or probably even read). I'm not going to bother filing an ANI thread at this time, but if an admin sees this and deems some action is necessary, feel free to oblige...

Delete No indication that it meets WP:MUSICBIO. Some sources like Youtube, Soundcloud, etc are not unacceptable and remaining are weak and from unreliable sites. Zeddedm (talk) 02:24, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Note how the article implies that this rapper first performed onstage at age 2. Anyway, the rapper has appeared in some softball interviews and unreliable gossip rags in his country. Just about all of his media presence is in paid promotional sites and his own social media. This is obvious when those so-called media outlets use peacock words like "superstar" and "king" for someone who is only known to himself. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:49, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
