Aasim

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

A search shows that this article fails WP:NMUSIC. Cannot find anything related to awards or billboard hits, and the sources used are not the most reliable. The BBC mention in the references (which is the only reliable source) is plainly a trivial mention of this artist.

Even if this person is notable, this fails WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as the title that is being used here most commonly refers to the Arabic name Asem, of which this is just one alternate spelling. (If you look at my signature you can understand as well.) So either this article must go and redirect to Asem or this article gets moved to Aasim (rapper) or Leroy Watson (rapper) and this title redirects to Asem. This extra bit of text before my signature is so the XfD does not look awkward with all the "Aasim"s being thrown around. Aasim (talk) 14:25, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Author Keep The sources aren't unreliable, and awards or billboard hits are only two possible paths to notability. Most of the problems the nominator identifies can be solved with a hatnote or piping, rather than deletion. Chubbles (talk) 19:43, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The Puff Daddy/Diddy/PDiddy name drop is about all that's notable. Oaktree b (talk) 22:17, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Sources are a crowdsourced database, a blog, and a bare namecheck. If that's all there is, this person isn't notable. —valereee (talk) 14:53, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * There are no crowdsourced databases in the reference list. I'm concerned that !voting editors in this AfD are not looking very closely at the matter. Chubbles (talk) 20:08, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
