Rony (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable rapper, fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSICIAN. The article has been reference bombed with a large number of unreliable blogs, SEO spam articles and user-generated sites like IMDB and Genius, but I don't see a single reference that counts towards notability. (I'm especially amused by this supremely dodgy outfit masquerading as the real Billboard.) Perhaps the only thing keeping this from being an A7 candidate is the claim that one of his songs "peaked at number 5 on the Portland US Charts", however the "Portland US charts" do not appear to be a real thing - the only Google results for that phrase are the subject's IMDB profile and one of the paid puff pieces about him.

 * Delete - he's clearly been doing a lot of promotion this month with links to follow him on social media posted on every single website that will allow him to do so. I agree that there doesn't seem to be any coverage that isn't paid for and Wikipedia should not be an extension of his promotional campaign. Some of the press releases are even marked as being written by Rony himself!! Clear WP:GNG and WP:NMUSICIAN fail. I see that this got moved from Draft:Rony (musician) without actually passing AfC.

 * Comment: there is a concurrent AfD for a duplicate article: Articles for deletion/Rony (musical artist). MarioGom (talk) 09:05, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Delete both this and Rony (musical artist). Not notable. Using unknown websites for promotion.--Trickipaedia (talk) 10:33, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
