No evidence of notability. The references do not establish notability and I am also concerned about the history of this article. It was tagged as WP:A7 by User:S0091 and was continually removed by the creator inappropriately. User:TheMultimediaHub then stepped in to remove it as more or less their first Wikipedia edit.

I'm now taking this to AfD as it's quite clear that there is still a notability issue here and despite vehement protestation from two users there is still no evidence of notability. There is this in a reputable source but it's written by Johnson so can't be used. Spiderone 19:12, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: To add to the history of this article, the draft was declined twice then rejected on December 7th then again on December 8th. Later on December 8th, Marquis Newell created the article directly in mainspace which was CSD'd under the A7 criteria. They created it again. It was nominated for CSD deletion again. Marquis removed the CSD tag. On December 18th, I tried to do some cleanup, find sources, etc. but ultimately nominated for it CSD again. Marquis removed the tag, I warned them so they added it back but a new account, TheMultimediaHub, removed the tag again. S0091 (talk) 16:28, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While the subject did receive songwriter's credit for One Dance that only meets the first criteria of WP:NMUSICIAN for a composer. DJ Mag is the only WP:RS that provides any significant coverage. All the other sources provided or via a Google search are either not independent (interviews, written by the subject, an advocate for musicians such as PRS/M Magazine) or a WP:BLOG, thus fails WP:GNG.

Delete Lacks independent coverage, also WP:BLP1E. Article history feels like a WP:UPE trying to game the system. MrsSnoozyTurtle (talk) 00:38, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
