I fail to see how this person meets WP:NMUSIC almost all of the "coverage" is related to his shooting and virtually nothing about his actual music or musical accomplishments. Shootings are sad and draw attention - but it doesn't make gunshot victims notable. CUPIDICAE💕 21:52, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Under that circumstance, I feel he doesn’t really meet notability as a musician, but maybe as an attack victim? Foxnpichu (talk) 23:58, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * That is not how NCRIME works. It was only minor local coverage at that, parroted by other agencies. CUPIDICAE💕  00:56, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Then it is a clear Delete or Redirect in my eyes. Foxnpichu (talk) 16:35, 8 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. No awards, no charted songs, and little coverage in reliable secondary sources.  Of the sources used in the article, most are song lists, YouTube, or make trivial mention of this artist.  This source has some detail, but interviews are primary sources.  As well, being the victim of a shooting does not enhance notability as a musician. One certification, per WP:MUSICBIO, but barely contributes to notability.

 * Keep Ive significantly improved the article The Heymann Standard. Removed the youtube / social media links as references. Ive added better secondary sources from Complex (magazine) and Noisey and XXL (magazine). He has a song that is certified gold on Music Canada and meets Notability (music) number 2. He has enough reliable sources on the page now to show his coverage so should meet the Notability, Notability (people) and Reliable sources. OrangeSoda1 (talk) 23:11, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * @, so you’ve been here for a minute & know how to articulate your rationale properly, Hell, even quoting WP:HEY, wow, aren’t you a prodigy? Oh well, what can I i say? Welcome to the collaborative project, Your ehhh unique precocious talents would be greatly needed here. Celestina007 (talk) 23:38, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I have blocked OrangeSoda1 as a sockpuppet per Sockpuppet investigations/TwinTurbo. Mz7 (talk) 21:34, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete — Non notable musician who lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources nor do they satisfy any criterion from WP:MUSICBIO. Celestina007 (talk) 23:38, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * His record "Priceless" featuring FB, was certified gold by Music Canada in August 19, 2020. Im gonna assume you didnt read the article or you dont know what satisfys the crietrion for WP:MUSICBIO. OrangeSoda1 (talk) 20:53, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * "WP:MUSICBIO 3. Has had a record certified gold higher in at least one country."


 * Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody who knows how to write and source an article properly can do it right. There is a potentially credible notability claim here, but the sourcing is problematic — there's entirely too much bad, unreliable sourcing here ("Fomoblog", "Somalispot", Spotify, Q&A interviews in which he's talking about himself in the first person, etc.), and the sources which are legitimate and reliable media coverage still hinge entirely on his having been shot rather than on his accomplishing anything relevant to the NMUSIC criteria. Even having a single certified gold is not an instant notability freebie that exempts a person from having to have had any meaningful press coverage about their music — but if he's ever had that, this article as written still isn't doing a very good job of showing it. Might he be notable? Yes. Is this the article that nails the case to the wall? No. Bearcat (talk) 05:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
