The article is full of BLP violations, which I've partially removed. I'm not seeing evidence that this meets WP:ENT or WP:GNG, or at least not seeing any reliable sources that prove that any evidence that they do meet these is true.

• SkyGazer 512, in all fairness,whilst the article was poorly sourced, there were no immediate red-flags from a BLP perspective.Our policy states thatContentious material about living persons might be removed without any discussion.You removed a lot of un-sourced promo-content (and it is right, enough:-)) but BLP is too strong a reason to be exploited as a cause.Best, ∯WBG^converse 07:24, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  @Winged Blades of Godric: There was some potentially controversial unsourced BLP info in the article left, at the time of my nomination. I just removed more of it now, though, but the section about the songs he sang is still unsourced.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 12:25, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I checked a revision predating your removals, and there's nothing useful. One of the citations went to a non-working page; this isn't a problem for something old, where there's been time for linkrot, but this is only a few days old, so it's highly unlikely that there was reliable content there. Another citation went to the front page of a Telugu website, which is basically just an introductory portal with no text about anything other than the website: it's highly unlikely that there's anything about this person there. Most of the rest of the citations went to English pages with no reference to this person, or a mere passing mention with nothing really about him. And finally, one page had a little content, but it's just a celebrity gossip website, not something that can be trusted one bit. Nyttend (talk) 22:08, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
