The result was delete. In addition to being fewer in number, the keep arguments often cited things that do not establish notability, such as presence on databases and non-RS sources. RL0919 (talk) 23:38, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Authentic presence (Authority Control) (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) Article contains reliable sources from National Publishers (India) source 1 source 2. --Fchlieck (talk) 17:21, 15 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete I don't see any significant reliable sources (as needed per WP:GNG). The only one that isn't behind a paywall only trivially mentions his name . The others don't provide significant coverage, similarly . ( doesn't even mention him). The keep arguments (WP:ITEXISTS, sourced to Facebook and some publisher's website) are entirely unconvincing, and I can't find anything else.

 * Keep per Subject has signed deal with Sony Music ATV and Beatstars Publishing 1 2 (Refer the badges on the profile) I've improved the article, instead of deleting it should be moved to "Stub" to let people add more content with reliable sources. Grimeindia (talk) 05:05, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * FYI Sony Music/ATV is the world's largest music publishing service. There is a world of difference between the company representing today top artists like Kanye West or licensing the Motown, Beatles and other iconic artist's catalogs versus emerging artists like this rapper "signing a deal" with the company as a client service. It is available to anyone who wants to sell their music. To sign an agreement to pay them a percentage of one's earnings in exchange for there services is not a significant achievement in itself.ShelbyMarion (talk) 15:09, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. The above links are either passing mentions or non-independent sources that do not contribute to notability. -- Ab207 (talk) 04:30, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
