- Delete - So I don't speak Icelandic and the two sources above aren't in a format that allows for a simple plugging into Google Translate, but I did manage a crude workaround by using the Google Translate app on my phone using the Google Lens translate feature to translate the text by pointing my phone's camera at my computer monitor which had the references on screen, and that worked. Both of the sources above are interviews (one about an album release for an album called Mellows, the other about an art exhibition) and therefore are not independent sources. It may be that the short simple stage name is causing any reliable sources to be buried, but I was not able to find any significant coverage in any third-party sources under that or his real name. As far as I can tell the article's subject fails WP:GNG. - Aoidh ( talk) 01:34, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
