Previously deleted in 2013 as he was deemed non-notable back then. In my view, he still fails WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:GNG even in 2021. There are a plethora of references and external links but none of them are enough to show a passing of GNG, for multiple reasons. I will summarise my views in a source assessment below. In my WP:BEFORE search using "River Styx", "Ben River" and "Hicham Bensassi" as well as using these names in conjunction with other artists that he collaborated with and projects that he worked on, I only found one source not already cited. I will add this to the assessment table as #16. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 12:28, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Source assessment - no WP:SIGCOV found. Article is the main part of a walled garden created by the same user, who also submitted Angel Headed Hip Hop, The Moonlight Orchestra and Gold Fish Bowl, which I have also nominated for deletion. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 12:44, 14 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete does not meet our inclusion criteria for musicians.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:49, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Spiderone's source assessment is very helpful. The musician has some media mentions about new releases and live appearances, but most are from unreliable sources and none are significant. Beyond those sources already analyzed by Spiderone, I can find nothing else but the musician's own social media and some basic streaming/retail entries. This article might be an attempted promotion. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 02:30, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
