No sign of meeting WP:MUSICBIO - no gnews hits, google hits are all self-generated or database listings, article is sourced solely to a paid-for interview ad. This article was a rejected AFC submission that was placed into article space anyway. Nat Gertler (talk) 15:57, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - the nominator summed it up pretty well. One advertorial interview hosted by "one of the leading platforms for music artist [sic] to promote their music" plainly doesn't meet the "subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself" of WP:NMUSIC, and there is zero indication any of the other criteria are met. - Biruitorul Talk 01:32, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - None of this applies any independent notability. SwisterTwister   talk  07:34, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The first two sections of the article exactly match the lead to that interview, so we could use copyvio as an excuse to speedy this. I'd rather not, though, as it's overwhelmingly likely that it and the Wikipedia article have the same author.  User:KeyzJay/sandbox should be deleted along with this, in any case. —Cryptic 12:06, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
