WP:BLP of a musician, completely unsourced once an invalid WP:CIRCULAR reference to another Wikipedia article was stripped. While there's a valid notability claim being made here ("highest grossing album in Bhutanese history"), I can't find any verification of that even on a Google search — the claim seems to turn up only in Blogspot blogs, and even then it's not claimed as the best-selling Bhutanese album ever, but only the best-selling Bhutanese album in one particular genre of music. (The same claim is asserted in the Wikipedia article that was being CIRCULARed as a "reference" — but it isn't sourced there either, so I couldn't even just pull over an existing reference and be done with it.) As always, however, because public relations people do have a tendency to inflate their clients' claims of achievement (e.g. ascribing "hit" status to an artist's latest single even if it was never actually a charting hit on any real chart), WP:NMUSIC cannot be passed merely by asserting that the subject passes it — you must reliably source the accuracy of their claim to passing it. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if real reliable sources can confirm that the album was actually as successful as the bloggers claim.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete for now at best as unless considerably better coverage is found, there's nothing to suggest a better notable and acceptable article yet. Notifying tagger . SwisterTwister   talk  05:57, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
