non-notable rapper, sourced entirely to blackhat SEO and a raging advert. And for clarification, this source (which is paid for blackhat spam) this (also blackhat spam) and this source (also SEO spam) are written by the same PR person, this is written by the "owner" of the first source Praxidicae (talk) 14:04, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The artist is notable and has made it to Top 2 in iTunes in France, with 4 songs released in a 5-month span all with professional music videos accompanied from a 2020 album 36000 Années Lumière all originals. The music videos have made a total of 26 million views only on YouTube ("Zayn" (7m), "Pardonne-moi" (12m), "Aya" (4m) and "Mi Reina" (3m)). There are similar numbers in other social media. The artist also has a previous album from 2018 entitled Ünga Vida proving longevity and the artist has been around prior to that as well. If one of the sources is similar to another source, it doesn't mean it is a PR job. The journalist himself works in more than one media outlet. The articles mentioned are based on interviews given to the outlets and of course would have similar stories as they are done in a limited span of time and were timed for the promotion for the imminent launch of the album in October 2020. But the similarities don't mean mean they are written by an assigned SEO. Information usually gets repeated in multiple sources even in reputable sources. The article is about an artist that is notable and I nominate it to stay. werldwayd (talk) 16:39, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But the similarities don't mean mean they are written by an assigned SEO. Information usually gets repeated in multiple sources even in reputable sources. Did you read the sources? Because three of the 4 that aren't itunes are written by the same person ([1][2][3]) Sergio Centeno is a PR Expert that helps brands establish credibility and create brand awareness. He specializes in helping brands get recognized by prestigious publications and featured on major news outlets and the last is just a copy of the other three which are all paid for pieces. Secondly, itunes rankings mean absolutely nothing - it's not a chart. I'd expect an editor of your tenure to know this much. Praxidicae (talk) 16:49, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Hmmm. #2 in iTunes France, (but no article in French Wikipedia), millions of streams on Youtube, songs appear everywhere on lyrics sites and streaming services, but virtually nothing about the man himself anywhere on the internet? (Apart from what has been written by the same, self-described "PR expert".) Someone has been very busy. I think delete unless something more concrete about the artist himself appears on reliable third party sources. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 17:55, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Escape Orbit: Yes, it does not exist in any other language. –Cupper52^Discuss! 11:21, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete iTunes charts are gameable, and apart from that there's vanishingly little claim of notability; apart from the "PR expert"'s articles there's basically no coverage of this person. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:04, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
