 *  comment Redirect to Return of the Mack. I found a few mentions of Nevada, but all in the context of the one song that charted, and no coverage of the person. There are no sources to fill in a basic biography. The song is more notable than the person. I don't have time to do a BEFORE right now, but I wanted to note that it seems to meets WP:SINGER by having a single chart on ARIA.  Schazjmd   (talk)  01:32, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - Has a lead single that successfully charted on multiple charts. Foxnpichu (talk) 22:54, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep The charting song is what makes the artist notable, “The Mack” is a big song and charted in many countries. That should get the artist a page. CheatCodes4ever (talk) 21:05, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * @ - So what you’re saying is keep the page? Foxnpichu (talk) 17:59, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, if a song peaks at number 9 on the ARIA, that means the song is notable enough to have a page. It also should get the artist a page. CheatCodes4ever (talk) 20:52, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * @ - You may wanna add "Keep" in bold at the start of your comment then. Foxnpichu (talk) 18:48, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I just realised that. Sorry. CheatCodes4ever (talk) 19:50, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Return of the Mack. It is unusual for a cover version to be notable but the performer not; but it is not impossible, and this is such a case. Notability is not WP:INHERITed. There is no evidence at all that Nevada gets anywhere near passing WP:GNG, WP:NBIO or WP:NMUSICIAN. Narky Blert (talk) 18:42, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Return of the Mack. Our guidelines indicate that an artist who has a release that reaches the charts and/or shifts a lot of units is likely to be notable. However, in this case, the release is a cover of a song which is notable, and the original artist, who is notable, appears on the cover. When looking for reliable sources I found little which dealt with Nevada in depth, though I found this which talks about Nevada's cover in terms of the original artist, Mark Morrison, which underscores that it is the song and the original artist which appear to be the notable aspects here.
