WP:BLP of a musician, not reliably sourcing any serious claim to passing WP:NMUSIC -- the only notability claim even being attempted here is that he and his music exist, and all of it is referenced entirely to his own music's streaming pages on Spotify or SoundCloud. As always, however, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their music technically metaverifies its own existence -- the notability test requires distinctions, such as awards or charting hits, and it requires journalists to pay independent attention to his accomplishments in media. So no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he has a stronger notability claim and better sourcing for it, but he's not already entitled to have an article now just because Spotify proves that his songs exist.

 * Delete per Bearcat, and I did not found anything reliable about him. All I found were the usual social media pages, streaming service entries, blogs, press releases and lyrics sites. Oh, and I found some interviews too but I don't think they are enough to prove notability. WP:TOOSOON Btw, I have asked this before and I ask it now: When will people get used to the fact that just because they have a SoundCloud/Spotify/Facebook/Pinterest/Amazon/Youtube/Twitter etc. page, does not qualify them for a Wikipedia article? Wikipedia is meant to be built on reliable sources, not trash like these. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 15:22, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * One major problem is that anyone can create a Wikipedia article even when they know nothing about our notability policies, such as an unknown musician or his one fan who see Wikipedia as just another promotional service like Bandcamp etc. This process here is the solution... eventually. ––  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 17:57, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know, but it is horrible. Too bad we can't stop this. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 06:37, 9 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - A probable promotion attempt for musician who has not progressed beyond uploading his own stuff to streaming services like anyone else could. He has not yet been noticed by anyone in the reliable media. ––  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 17:54, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete a non-notable rapper. Also per the well reasoned argument of the nominator.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:20, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
