PROD was contested. Non-notable artist created by a declared paid editing account with the intention of promoting the artist. Clear COI and fails both points of WP:N. The subject does not meet GNG and is excluded as promotional content under WP:NOTSPAM. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:20, 19 July 2017 (UTC)*[reply]

I am also nominating the following artists that are part of the same group for the same reasons as above:

Delete per nom. I was about to do the same for these articles to be honest. Also to note the author of these articles has been blocked for sockpuppetry. RickinBaltimore (talk) 20:38, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom's thorough analysis, all wrapped up in a big promotional bow. Now also per G5, of course. — fortunavelut luna 18:27, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete nothing really debatable about this, totally non-notable, paid editing, promo, coi, etc. etc. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:28, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That goes for all three articles. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:29, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with the comments above. Lack of notability and clearly promotional. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 18:29, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non notable indeed and clearly WP:PROMO. MassiveYR ♠ 20:46, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all three articles; they fail WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG, apart from the WP:PROMO violation. --bonadea contributions talk 21:52, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all three due to the fact they don't pass notability individually or as a group. WikiVirusC^(talk) 22:45, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SNOW delete per above, clear-cut COI and fails WP:MUSICBIO. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 00:18, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, though I have no objection to sending the pages to AFC to improve the content and remedy the COI issues with the page. The author has agreed to "divest" themselves of the musicians because of the promotional nature. Hasteur (talk) 11:55, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd oppose AfC mainly because of the socking concerns: I don't trust the user to not try to game that system. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:05, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and in any case there is no indication that it meets WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG anyways. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 19:13, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
