Advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician, not reliably sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because it's possible to verify that they exist -- the notability test requires them to pass one or more achievement-based criteria, and to have media coverage independent of their own self-published marketing bumf. But the referencing here is almost entirely of the "music metaverifying its own existence on Spotify, Apple Music, CD Baby or YouTube" variety, except for one citation to a WordPress blog, with not even one reference to a real, reliable or notability-building media outlet shown at all. Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 15:29, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:TOOSOON, to be charitable. A newcomer musician who is present on the usual social media and streaming sites, plus a few minor collaborations, but not yet noticed by the reliable music media in his own right. Also note the amateurish presentation of this article, with a gender change in the middle and the use of both "El Yinker" and "The Yinker", which is likely the result of self or management copying text from unreliable promo sites. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:04, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
