 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Only the nominator has proposed that the subject fails the policies. Other problems don't quite seem WP:TNT-worthy; Mer-C has a point but any editor may replace any content at any time to make the article more "legitimate". Geschichte (talk) 21:49, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. Satisfys criteria #2 and #11 of WP:MUSICBIO. Criteria #2 with  and passes criteria #11 with being on rotation with Capital London and also as extra hes been played by BBC Radio 1 and KISS. . This should be enough to establish musical notability and he also has press coverage to aid with WP:GNG. Thanks, Pulisi (talk) 22:14, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Blocked for UPE. MER-C 17:09, 7 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep as passes two criteria of WP:NMUSIC but could do with more evidence of significant coverage in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:28, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:MUSICBIO due to top 100 tracks in 3 countries. Expertwikiguy (talk) 10:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * UPDATE His track "Get Out My Head" has hit #4 in the UK charts this week. That is pretty significant! Expertwikiguy (talk) 10:47, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It was not officially number 4 and still isn't yet. It was number 22. You used the midweek chart's data, which is not the full official week and should not be used. I'm not saying it won't end up number 4, but please know the difference in future.  Ss  112   15:34, 8 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete as filer. Recent development that article was created by an undisclosed paid contributor (see Undisclosed Paid Editor) who is now blocked, just consolidates my thoughts on this, as advancing people's professional careers at Wikipedia's expense and gaming our system is just wrong.  The article is about a guy that has some coverage, yes, but that is not noteworthy, especially in the music industry.  I've seen way better sourced articles on much better covered individuals fail here because those editors realize that fame and notability are not the same thing.

 * It is my feeling that regardless of UPE, this guy has currently Top 4 track in the UK, so he meets WP:MUSICBIO and should be kept. If removed, sooner or later someone else will attempt recreation.Expertwikiguy (talk) 21:03, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Is it allowed to double vote, when you already nominated the page? I think you need to change this to a "COMMENT" so the deciding admin does not count two DELETE's for you. Expertwikiguy (talk) 00:08, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No, it is not allowed. Geschichte (talk) 21:49, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

 * The latter outcome is what I had in mind - someone who is not paid or has a COI should be able to recreate this. MER-C 16:32, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
