AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

i'm not entirely sure what sources supposedly passed the muster in the previous AFD but there simply isn't independent reliable coverage of Bent. Vents Magazine was what swayed one voter, however that is blackhat SEO (ie. paid for placement, not identified, published as if it were legitimate journalism despite not being so.)

The Source as a source would be legitimate, however they too engage in pay-for-pub, so it lacks any independence. And to clarify further, The Source piece was written by a digital marketer who specializes in native ad placement/digital media placement for artists. He doesn't appear to have charted and I can't find anything that would satisfy our n criteria about this Bent. VAXIDICAE💉 18:30, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - I was the one voter who was "swayed" by some sources in the previous AfD three years ago. At the that time I made a very unenthusiastic "weak keep" vote because the rapper had some introductory media notice, and then his article survived because nobody else voted. I will note now that nothing else seems to have happened for this rapper in the past three years, so his early media notice is looking less impressive, and it accomplished nothing for him either. I won't fight the consensus in this new AfD, and will continue to describe my view as "unenthusiastic". ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:32, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
