Eva y Ale superstars

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

Advertorialized article about a pop music duo, with no properly sourced claim to passage of WP:NMUSIC. The notability claim here is essentially that one song exists, which is not enough in and of itself to secure inclusion in Wikipedia, and the sourcing is a mixture of short blurbs, blogs and primary sources (MusicBrainz, Spotify) that aren't support for notability at all, which doesn't add up to enough coverage to secure passage of WP:GNG in lieu of having to accomplish anything that would actually satisfy NMUSIC. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which musicians are automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their debut single recursively verifies its own existence on Spotify — there's simply nothing here that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to accomplish more than just recording one song, or from having to have more than just a tiny smattering of media coverage.

 * Delete - To be generous, it is too soon. Note that the name of the group is Eva y Ale, and "Superstars" is the title of the one song they have self-released so far. The article was created by a user who has done nothing else beyond this group in Wikipedia, and while new editors are always welcome, this person is clearly unfamiliar with our article structure and (more importantly) our notability requirements. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:50, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: having lived in South America for more than a decade, I know how hard it is to find any quality reliable sources on even the giants of Latin American music, as the kind of in-depth music journalism that we're used to in the US and UK simply doesn't exist in these countries. Even though most of the sources in this article are real and reputable daily newspapers, here we have a classic example of the type of coverage given to musicians in Latin publications: promotional fluff, and flattering softball interviews also masquerading as promotion. That said, all we are talking about here is two Instagram influencers who have released just one single to date, which doesn't appear to have charted anywhere, so this is probably WP:TOOSOON and could be deleted.
