Non-notable musician with no significant coverage in reliable sources and no evidence of satisfying WP:MUSICBIO. The article previously deleted under Cameron Hardy and the AfC was declined multiple times at Draft:Cameron Hardy. GSS (talk|c|em) 04:00, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete had circumvented AFC twice and still with no notable anything to meet WP:MUSICBIO. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:03, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Article had been moved to draft space prior to the addition of references and completion of all information. Article now meets the requirements of WP:MUSICBIO. Article was previously approved.

I don't see the Billboard charting anywhere, can you provide an updated pointer? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:52, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How is he meeting WP:MUSICBIO? Please provide the citations and which numbers he meets there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:58, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. In this diff, the article creator claims that this has charted on a Billboard chart, but this is not mentioned in the citation given. I find no indication that this claim is true and ultimately violates WP:V unless shown otherwise. Given that, notability does not appear to be established. The potential conflict of interest is also noted. --Kinu ^t/_c 18:47, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Links to verify claims are either broken or lead to insignificant, non-reliable sources. A name search of Billboard.com returns nothing for the name "Cameron Hardy." The purpose of this article seems promotional. Most charitably, this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. ShelbyMarion (talk) 22:35, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~. Article has now been updated and inactive links were either removed or fixed. Tunesywikier55 13:55, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One !vote per editor, please. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:57, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Despite the lack of nobility in regards to charting, he seems to be signed to a major record label. His acting credits seem to be notable as well. I would recommend merging to article "Cameron Hardy". - Shawunited 13:43, 28 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shawunited8 (talk • contribs) — Shawunited8 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete. I am unable to find evidence of notability. Vanamonde (talk) 00:45, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is an overtly promotional biography of a non-notable young music performer. Creating sockpuppets was a foolish move and their comments will be disregarded by the closing administrator. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:50, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable enough to meet WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:09, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
