The result was keep‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. In deep need of some sources but the UK Top 40 meets current notability requirements and not seeing reason to go against that after multiple relistings. Will add the chart source at least to start the references and hopefully we can get a bit more on heere. James of UR (talk) 20:29, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete, this is about the closest I can find, it's about an un-related robot. There is nothing for this person, who appears to not have done any music in at least a decade. Oaktree b (talk) 19:52, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Bona fide top 40 hit in the UK passes WP:MUSIC. Chubbles (talk) 05:15, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. I was not able to find any coverage of the subject in newspapers or books. I tried to search for him in Allmusic, which I remembered is an accepted source in some context, but his profile only has a list of songs, with no biography nor review to support the claims on the article. Searching in other sites from the aforementioned source lists did not get any useful results eithter.
 * While "reaching top 40 in U.K." mentioned above was certainly impressive, I'm not so sure about citing a group as evidence for an individual's notability. Even then, the problem with the sourcing still exist, and it'll seem that the only reasonable way to keep the article was to reduce it into one sentence: "Shimon Alcoby is a member of the group 'Shimon & Andy C'."

 * Well, it's not a group per se, it's a collaboration between Shimon and Andy C, two notable musicians. The Officialcharts listing solves the RS issue as it is an officially-published nationwide chart and satisfies the WP:V requirement for purposes of WP:MUSIC. Chubbles (talk) 04:47, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
