- Delete - Under both names, Showbezzy and Showboy, his music is only present in the typical streaming and self-promotional sites where anyone can upload material, and his media coverage as a musician is entirely in the form of brief press releases and entries at gossip sites. He got some minor news coverage as an attempted murderer, but that does not make him notable as a musician or anything else. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 16:36, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
