Not sure on this singer - the article is a sufficiently mixed bag of unsourced, badly sourced, and just-about-sufficiently sourced that I'd rather leave this to music business editors to evaluate (I find "writeups" like the two Radio Times sources hard to assess because frankly they give me rabies). My feeling is that there's a lot of runner-up / almost-famous stuff here that does not quite add up to WP:NSINGER. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 18:43, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree with the nominator, as this singer has come close to notability a few times, but just didn't quite make it. He received a little coverage for low placements in talent shows and a couple of mentions by celebrities. He signed some deals that received no coverage outside his own social media and went nowhere regardless. There's just not quite enough for an article here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:44, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I'm on the fence. I see the following sources that don't appear to be listed in the article. They don't appear significant, but there is Yahoo News coverage of his potential involvement in an Amazon reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Just wanted to point to the sources I found in case they help anybody decide here: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] (these were all found with WP:RSSE.) A S U K I T E 17:39, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep, it's close, but I reckon the sources identified by Asukite are sufficient for a GNG pass. Devonian Wombat (talk) 00:59, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (Disclaimer: I'm the one who reverted the redirect that was added in 2019) I think the article's subject meets GNG but leave the decision to someone else. The early versions of the article had major issues (promotion, bad sources, etc) and the current version is better but still bears those scars. A rewrite would help so I added that tag. There's also a upcoming Netflix project that is not listed in the article. Source: [6] Draft article: [7] Backstory: The only reason I know about the guy is because I googled him after someone said I look like him. The article we are discussing appeared in the first page of Google results but redirected to The X Factor. He seemed notable enough for me to revert that redirect. Also reverted because it should have gone through AfD (after failing CSD) like it is now. Ggpur (talk) 23:21, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
