Dom Okon

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

PR-based coverage, likely non-notable, and fails WP:GNG. Mercenf (talk) 15:03, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - I had previously removed most of the known PR dumps, some of which were directly attributed to SEO spammers or "digital growth companies focused on performance". None of the rest seems particularly notable: "The Source" seems like it used to be a good RS, but there's a million ads for paid placement and SEO on the site, so not sure; it's certainly written like PR. "AllHipHop" seems like another blog, no author indicated. "Loading Magazine" just looks like a PR blog. "GenZHipHop" is absolutely a paid placement/PR post. "jamsphere" again is straight nonsensical PR, and looks like a ChatGPT dump. Was not able to find anything in independent searches, other than known fake SEO sites - there's been extensive paid  placement in very low quality sources. Sam Kuru (talk) 15:39, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete Comb back in 10 yrs kid. Charting on Itunes isn't notable, the rest of the sourcing is problematic. Nothing we can use. Oaktree b (talk) 18:26, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * second page I'm reviewing today, just thought I should reply to your comment. It's kind of harsh of you to say man and it's untrue. Charting on itunes itself may not be notable but being the youngest instrumental artist in America to do it is quite impressive. I have read up on Dom Okon and find his career quite interesting in a positive way. He has been featured on thisis50 owned by 50 cents himself. Hype mag which to some extent is notable and allhiphop and the source which I saw have their own pages on this site. All Hip Hop, Thisis50 and The Source are all verified on social media platforms. This leads me to believe that he has some unproblematic sources to use, and this page does meets wikipedia guidelines. Xodovoo (talk) 22:55, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete- I was expecting this article to be a shameless promotion by himself or managers, but the kid has actually been noticed by a few professional rap publications. But those sources are still in softball introductory mode and don't get too far from basic PR announcements. For all the other sources available, the folks above are correct about SEO scams and paid promo shenanigans. I will be charitable with WP:TOOSOON. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 19:34, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * hi, i'm new but after reviewing this kid and doing some research I see he has a doll, stickers, candles and other products on Etsy made by individuals who are fans of him. He definitely has garnered some attention so I think the most appropriate action would be to allow for edits to this page if that's possible. He's clearly somewhat notable, the only problem with his page are his sources. If we can replace the sources on this page than I don't see why not it wouldn't be up to Wikipedia standards, then? Once again, I'm new so maybe I'm wrong but I see that being a possible solution for this issue anyway. Dexvnn (talk) 04:52, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * He may have some enthusiastic fans, but in an encyclopedia we need coverage resulting in readable facts that can be verified, and that is not the same as attention. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:52, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * okay, i see what your saying in some capacity but it looks like to me at least all hip hop and the source are pretty notable. Both have wikipedia pages on here anyway. lastly, this singer is on famous birthdays and cameo. he couldn't have paid for that. it looks like he is a notable person, with two notable websites discussing him. in my professional opinion, this page should be saved.
