Alleged to be an A7 article, but there's enough information in the article's history tab that I'd feel better letting the community decide whether to swing the axe in this case. TomStar81 (Talk) 08:08, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It is worth mentioning that half of the article's references are from the same website. I'm curious to know if the artist has enoguh significant coverage or not. Foxnpichu (talk) 09:26, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, unless someone can deliver reliable sources that are translated from Korean to English. This guy's manager should advise him to change his stage name because it is hideously unsearchable in any language. Searching for his birth name in English (Jo Tae-kyoung) or stage name in Korean (어바웃) in conjunction with something like "singer" brings up what look like exclusively Korean social media promotions and streaming sites, like those already in the article. I was unable to find an entry on him at Korean Wikipedia, but again I may have been thwarted by his pointless name. Even less comes up in sites that use English. Unless someone proficient in Korean can deliver something useful, I must conclude that this article is just an attempted promotion for a singer with little media notice. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:48, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have provided some pretty good points there, so I'm going to say Delete as well. Foxnpichu (talk) 21:19, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:SINGER. The references in the article are almost entirely made up of online music stores. Coverage in Korean-language media is almost non-existent and he has failed to chart on South Korea's national singles and albums charts. Ə XPLICIT 09:13, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Doesn't pass GNG BASIC or NSINGER. BEFORE just showed promos and social media. // Timothy :: talk 13:25, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
