This is one of those musician articles that stretches fortunate connections and inherited notability in an attempt to not seem promotional. Most of the article's current sources are to social media, retail, and industry listing sites. Other sources are about events in which he merely appeared and may not even mention him by name. He has been a guest on a few releases that charted for other people and he has two minor magazine mentions: [1], [2]. Otherwise I can find nothing beyond the usual listings. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 13:55, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. (Article Author). Regardless of the quality of sources, he had a viral hit single in 2009 with over four million plays across YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music and many more offline. Happy to work together to improve the article if needs be. What would deleting this accomplish? -- ItsLuke (contribs) 10:19, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

- Regretful Delete - I wanted to keep this one, but I'm just not seeing anything that's really WP:SIGCOV from a reliable source. The closest is the Trench Magazine mention, but even that's just a bare one. Without that this fails WP:GNG. FOARP ( talk) 16:35, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

- Weak Delete per FOARP. I too was unable to find enough RS to meet the criteria at WP:SIGCOV. 4meter4 ( talk) 19:07, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
