 * No evidence to uphold deletion. The article is held within the required limits to be online.
 * Sources dictate evidence of factual events ✅ The article is upheld by some of the most notable names and groups in Australian music including Kerser: one of the biggest names in Australian Hip Hop/Rap.

 * Characterising sources of having a lack of notability: Incorrect Some of the references detailed represent some of the biggest online sources material within Australian music. Tonedeaf is one of the biggest pieces of online material dedicated to bringing viewers news and upcoming events throughout the Australian music scene. Triple J Unearthed is also another highly notable source as it is one of the only radio programs in Australia dedicated to bringing new and independent (not published by a record label) music to Australian listeners.
