Olakira

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

COI/UPE promotional article of a “musician” who doesn’t satisfy any criterion from WP:MUSICBIO. All sources used in the article do nothing for WP:GNG as most of them are unreliable whilst the the remaining are announcements of his new music single release. A before search shows no concrete evidence of notability. Celestina007 00:01, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: It is hard to say that this is a non-notable musician. References and links - some of them are pop candy, others are interviews and evaluation of his contribution to scene. He is watched by media and notable in his own environment. Keep. -- Whiteguru (talk) 09:14, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * @, Interviews are not independent of the subject hence do not adhere to WP:GNG. Furthermore please do provide to this AFD the WP:RS that shows subject of our discussion is notable. Celestina007 12:06, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: Agree Interviews are not independent of the subject and sources and before don't show anything that meets WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. It might just be WP:TOOSOON. Editors do need to provide RS if they are going to claim notability. Voting at AfD without evidence or is becoming more of a problem everyday (from what I've been experiencing).   // Timothy ::  talk  04:02, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable musician. Article is sourced to interviews, press releases, youtube videos and Apple Music links. Did not found much else either. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 18:45, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: The musician is notable and there are other links to support his notability. I will vote to keep. Keep. -- Brute105 —Preceding undated comment added 08:59, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Please can you support your rationale with a reliable source that proves this? Merely saying someone is notable without explaining via policy or use of reliable sources to substantiate how is not a valid argument in an AFD. Celestina007 14:01, 13 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Ongoing SPI Investigation -An ongoing SPI is currently taking place here: Sockpuppet investigations/Jamie200896. Celestina007 14:07, 13 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. I'm not convinced that WP:NMUSICIAN is met. Many of the sources are interviews without substantial commentary or short articles with only brief mentions. Some of them refer to the subject's "up-and-coming" status, suggesting that it's too soon for Wikipedia to have an article on him. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 21:38, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete References look like press releases, or "contributor" stories which can easily be generated by the subject. I'm not seeing convincing independent coverage. OhNo itsJamie Talk 18:14, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
