It was not officially number 4 and still isn't yet. It was number 22. You used the midweek chart's data, which is not the full official week and should not be used. I'm not saying it won't end up number 4, but please know the difference in future. Ss11215:34, 8 January 2021 (UTC)reply
Delete as filer. Recent development that article was created by an undisclosed paid contributor (see
Undisclosed Paid Editor) who is now blocked, just consolidates my thoughts on this, as advancing people's professional careers at Wikipedia's expense and gaming our system is just wrong. The article is about a guy that has some coverage, yes, but that is not noteworthy, especially in the music industry. I've seen way better sourced articles on much better covered individuals fail here because those editors realize that fame and notability are not the same thing.

It is my feeling that regardless of UPE, this guy has currently Top 4 track in the UK, so he meets
WP:MUSICBIO and should be kept. If removed, sooner or later someone else will attempt recreation.

Is it allowed to double vote, when you already nominated the page? I think you need to change this to a "COMMENT" so the deciding admin does not count two DELETE's for you.

The latter outcome is what I had in mind - someone who is not paid or has a COI should be able to recreate this.
