Talk:Afsheen

I intend to request that this redirect be deleted, when the sockpuppet controversy winds up
Afsheen (sytlized as AFSHeeN), also known as Afshin Salmani, is not Dutch DJ Quintino, so the re-direct of an artist and songwriter to another artist and songwriter who shares one song between them is a bad redirect. While the link between the two is not widely declared, this is what I have found to date. From AllMusic, biography of AFSHeeN; "Los Angeles-based electronic producer and songwriter Afshin Salmani transitioned from producing work for artists like Madonna and Janet Jackson to penning his own songs as AFSHeeN." Final sentence of the biography goes "He followed the success of "Slow" with "Tunnel" and "Secrets" before "Pull Me from the Waves" -- featuring vocalist Nisha -- arrived in 2017." This ties in to the artist AFSHeeN listed in Spotify, which under Singles and EPs lists both the song sung performed by Quintino, Cher Lloyd and AFSHeeN ("Don't Lose Love"), but also the same song mentioned in the AllMusic biography, "Pull Me from the Waves" by AFSHeeN, featuring Nisha. Another website that links AFSHeeN to Afshin Salmani, but with unknown reliability, is Who Sampled. which lists the artist AFSHeeN, then states real name is Afshin Salmani. Since Afshin Salmani wrote multiple songs with articles in Wikipedia, or is mentioned on albums as a songwriter, directing the name unstylized name Afsheen to Quintino does a dis-service to all the readers who click on a link and discover another artist who has collaborated once.

Using Wikipedia's search function, Afshin Salmani is credited as a songwriter on the following songs; "Sunny Days", "Four Seasons", "All We Have Is Love", "Paper or Plastic", "Girls on Boys", "Carry On". Salmani is also credited on songs on the following albums; Evolution, Royalty, Happy Mistakes, Brave Enough, The Aviary.

I don't know if there is enough notability to create an article for Afshin Salmani or AFSHeeN, but it is doing a serious dis-service to the artist and songwriter to link to another artist where one has to use the Control F function (Find function) to locate that they collaborated on one song. Therefore, I will be asking for this page to be deleted rather than redirecting to a poorly associated artist. I am just waiting for the sockpuppetry denial to be flushed out so that my RfD request does not reward a villain who has the audacity to make edits after being life-time banned.
