This page had been PRODed and speedied multiple times since 2016 for the same reasons as in the note tags here, appears to be non-notable and no reliable sources other than self published ones. Additionally this act and most of the linked associated acts have been repeatedly linked to sockpuppets (for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Rtjfan) that exist only to promote them. Looking at the talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Martinluciddreamjr of the creator of this page this appears to be yet another set of promotional efforts for non-notable musicians.

Comment I don't see why this is listed in the "Artists-related deletion discussions". He should be in music or something similar.96.127.242.226 (talk) 04:12, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There's nothing in the article to support a claim of notability and nothing else I could find in a Google search that would support a claim. Alansohn (talk) 21:10, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are a lot of releases mentioned in the article, but none of them have garnered significant critical or commercial attention. Newslinger (talk) 05:12, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Insufficient (which is to say pretty much no) WP:reliable sources to establish notability. If the promotional music track lists are the best that can be found for this artist, it is small wonder that this has never survived speedy deletions or PRODs.

Delete Lacks reliable sources and fails WP:MUSICBIO. Snowycats (talk) 03:47, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
