Practically all the sources are either hype sites, primary sources, unreliable sources, or affiliated with SoFagyo. A cursory search on google shown not a single reliable source covering him. OhHaiMark (talk) 19:53, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep These sources should be enough. Although they are mostly interviews, there are portions of the articles that are not. He also satisfies WP:SINGER by having a single that has been certified platinum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyberdog958 (talk • contribs) 00:47, September 9, 2024 (UTC)
Strong Keep SoFaygo has a Gold certified single and has received consistent coverage in multiple sources considered reliable by WP:MUSIC/SOURCE including XXL with him being an XXL freshman: [1], Complex: [2], HipHopDX: [3], and HotNewHipHop: [4]. The claim that "a cursory search on google shown not a single reliable source covering him" is almost laughable as little research shows that he has been covered extensively in the past.

Keep as well as the reliable sources identified above I also found a staff written bio at AllMusic here. He also passes WP:NMUSIC criteria 3 with a Platinum selling record (which is higher than a Gold Record), imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
