Gianni Blu

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional article written by an apparent undisclosed paid editor, previously deleted as G11 and G12, and recently declined for G11 deletion. This incarnation avoids the copyvio problems. Sources describe him in terms such as "rising" but Wikipedia doesn't have articles on up-and-coming artists; an artist must have already arrived. It isn't clear exactly what criteria in WP:MUSICBIO this person meets. His works (many of them remixes not original works) appear to be self-published, on his own label. Sources are brief mentions or directory listings, and sources that go into reasonable depth appear to be sources dedicated to reviewing obscure artists. These sources remind me of Wine Spectator which reviews 10,000 wines per year, so the chance of any wine getting a review eventually approaches 100%, making Wine Spectator reviews worthless for judging notability. Rightly or wrongly, I get a similar sense from the sources that cover this artist. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:48, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - As the instigator of the speedy deletion nomination of the previous version of this article, I await the creator's disclosure of his conflict of interest. I believe the subject fails WP:GNG, as per Anachronist. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:38, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, as an advertisement by a blatantly financially-connected editor – we don't allow advertisement. Even if notability could be established (and I don't see that it can), we would not want this as our page on him. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:17, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
