Does not seem to pass WP:N and WP:BLP1E Bedivere (talk) 16:14, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is coverage about a person with the same name in Chile; I've found one article from the Swiss international radio broadcaster about him, but it looks like a recycled press-release. Oaktree b (talk) 16:28, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be the same person. They seem to be only known in Chile for a controversy surrounding the failed production of a compilation album of Chilean trap musicians and the continued personal attacks between the people involved. Bedivere (talk) 16:35, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article is referring to a Puerto Rican music producer, not anyone in Chile or does it relate to anything in Chile. He has over 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Rolling Stone also listed one of his songs on their list of the 100 Best Reggaeton Songs of All Time. Diva Knockouts 23:06, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The song may be notable, "Soy una gárgola", but the producer does not seem to be. Bedivere (talk) 23:27, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the Rolling Stone article they claim he has left a mark on the genre of reggaeton, with this article referring to him as a “legendary producer”. Here and here use similar language as well. His albums have been credited to “Various Artist” in Billboard magazine, but have charted. Diva Knockouts 04:53, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still unconvinced about Gárgolas' own notability. Some of these albums may be notable on their own though. Bedivere (talk) 22:59, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment could be redirected to the albums (if they are on Wikipedia). Not 100% not notable nor 100% notable. Mozzcircuit (talk) 11:37, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

could be, yes Bedivere (talk) 13:34, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

the albums do not have wikipedia articles but are redirects so redirecting to a redirect is a no-no Atlantic306 (talk) 22:50, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep based on the sources identified by DivaKnockouts and the Rolling Stone article, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:52, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's some coverage (just enough, probably) in third-party sources. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 04:40, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
