An article created by a WP:SPA about a young musician. The article was twice rejected at AfC before being moved into mainspace by the article creator, since when it has been further edited by that account and another WP:SPA, both of whom have removed templates regarding Notability and COI. The sourcing of the article is largely to non-notable playlists and an album review on a site which showcases new indie musicians; the best of the sources provided is an interview bylined to "Karbi Anglong Today". As well as this biographical article, there are similarly sourced articles about the subject's recordings (Life in Frames, , Draft:Rong-Aje (song), You Wouldn't Know (Chokamkuru Langneh song)). I am not seeing evidence that WP:MUSICBIO notability has been attained. AllyD (talk) 16:20, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails WP:NSINGER and WP:GNG. Theroadislong (talk) 16:55, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Just to expand on the rationale above, all these articles have basically only two sources: an interview with the subject from his local newspaper Karbi Anglong Today, which is a WP:PRIMARY source; and a blog which does not employ professional writers (the author of the album review is a graphic designer from Bangalore, as stated on her LinkedIn profile), and which appears to exist through Patreon subscriptions, and pays 25% to the artists that it promotes [1], so it fails WP:RS by some distance. There's no indication that the subject is known outside of his home town. Richard3120 (talk) 16:39, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: one of the SPAs is currently messing around with G6 deletion moves, presumably to try and bypass this AfD. Richard3120 (talk) 16:43, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
