Previously deleted through AfD as subject does not seem to pass any of the criterion listed under WP:MUSICBIO. Only this cited source by record label seem to have power. He released "Fight for You" which was later remixed by Jason Derulo and the source to that statement is Apple Music. No review whatsoever on Allmusic, only passing mentions here, and broken links cited on the article. He would pass #5 of WP:MUSICBIO but all his albums were "self-released".  dxneo  (talk) 05:00, 5 November 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Weak keep Keep he has had at least one album released on Mercury Records, shown here with others on Avex Trax, sold 65,000 copies of one album in Japan and has significant coverage in The Times here and the Guardian source here linked in the nomination is more than a passing mention, its a small but sharp critique, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:12, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * All that is WP:CRYSTAL, any charting list verifying the subjects "massive blow up" in Japan? Anyone can achieve hits online but still fail WP:GNG, I can give a few examples as a South African who knows an individual called Shebeshxt, he's upcoming and very big (on streaming platforms and TikTok) but yet no news of him online as his recordings were mostly self-released like the subject of the matter. Please provide a national charting list, award nom/win, or even a certified recording, something that can satisfy WP:MUSICBIO or WP:ANYBIO.  dxneo  (talk) 03:48, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not crystal, we've got a reliable source The Times stating that he's sold 65,000 albums in Japan. He's also released three albums on a notable label Avex Trax as well as a release on Mercury Records so he is not self released, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:03, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Here's evidence that one of his albums charted at 29 on the Oricon Album Chart the top chart in Japan here. It is also confirmed in the Japan Wikipedia article here which also has extra references such as Billboard Japan, and Natalie. Changed to full keep due to charting, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep based on charting in Japan and the album sales. Oaktree b (talk) 16:43, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
