Semi-advertorialized
WP:BLP of a musician, not
properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing
WP:NMUSIC. This person is a direct associate of
Caspian who's also up for AFD, and was of course created by the same user (bolstering the existing suspicions of a direct
conflict of interest) -- and while there's a potentially stronger notability claim here as a
Western Canadian Music Award nominee, that's only a regional award and not a national one that would confer an "inherent" notability pass under NMUSIC #8, so it would be fine if the article were properly sourced, but isn't highly notable enough to exempt him from having to be well-sourced just because the article has the word "award" in it.
The other attempted notability claim here is that a song did well on the iTunes charts, but that's a single-vendor
WP:BADCHART that does not pass NMUSIC's charting criterion -- notability because charting attaches only to
IFPI certified national pop charts on the order of Billboard, not individual online music stores.
But the referencing here isn't cutting it at all, depending far too heavily on
blogs and directory entries with not nearly enough properly reliable coverage in real media shown.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced considerably better than this, and Wikipedia is not a free public relations site where people are entitled to have Wikipedia articles at their own personal demand.

Comment These sources are hyper-local and I can't see they amount to "significant coverage in reliable sources". The Vice mention is a passing mention specifically about 'the beef that’s erupted between Madchild and Snak the Ripper' and I cannot see how having beef with Madchild is evidence of an enduring impact on the world of music. Quite apart from WP:GNG, we also have some beef meeting the subject specific guidelines, "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart. Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country." I'd also appreciate keeping the discussion here and off my talk page. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 12:10, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia articles are generally written based on in-depth, independent, reliable sourcing with some subject-specific exceptions relating to independence.- "Ghost of Dan Gurney" ( work / talk) 12:46, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Keep; touring and shows have recieved some press [6] [7] [8] [9]. Other additional sources, such as those from Exclaim! [10] and The Chronicle-Journal [11], when combined with the above sourcing, pushes the subject past GNG imo. I see coverage spanning from 2010 [12] until 2022 [13].

Relisting comment: Specific analysis of the sources presented both in the article and during this discussion for reliability, independence, and depth of coverage of this subject would be very helpful in determination of consensus.
