Not notable. Coverage is completely lacking--a few directory-style entries on websites do not make up in-depth discussion in reliable sources. He has a YouTube channel--great. He tweets--great. No one in the press has taken notice of him, and the article should go. Drmies (talk) 17:01, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Bloated puff piece about a 14-year old "Singer, Songwriter, and YouTube personality" from Texas. I see no credible claim of significance that makes me think subject is sufficiently significant for an article. The citations provided are all to unreliable sources, never mind the significant coverage. Searching for sources I have found nothing suggesting just a soupçon of notability, and subject fails the basic notability guideline for people as well as any SNG. Article has no incoming links from other pages in main namespace, no other article mentions subject, and I see no alternatives to deletion per policy. — Sam Sailor 18:34, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. I feel a bit guilty about advocating deletion of an article about a 14-year-old, but it's way too soon. Trending on social media is not one of our indices of notability, and the only close to reliable source cited is the WN piece, which while enthusiastic does not suggest that "elche" is a reliable music critic; in any case, we'd need at least one more substantial piece to meet WP:GNG. Search is complicated by the coincidence of names with the subject of OmarGoshTV, whose history is tangled up with that of this article since there was a hijacking during the run of Articles for deletion/OmarGoshTV; that article has now been restored and in fact almost all the hits for "Omar Gosh" are for the other Omar Gosh whose YouTube channel is OmarGoshTV (and who is not a rapper). But I failed to find anything potentially useful on this person. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:57, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I do not see sufficient evidence from third-party reliable sources that the general notability guideline or the notability guideline for musicians is met. Existence (i.e., inclusion on lists of artists) does not impart encyclopedic notability. If anything, at best, this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. No prejudice to recreation as a redirect to the article about the project by the more prominent individual who goes by this name. -- Kinu  t/c 21:12, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SNOW. This is far too soon, and far too exploitative of a minor. Bearian (talk) 14:31, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, not sufficiently notable yet. CoolieCoolster (talk) 16:00, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
