Sources fail to show how this person meets WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG - sources are a click-bait source, link to the youtube channel and a quick blurb about some trashtalking, more because of the other person involved. The article mentions a minor role in a film, again, not enough for notability (see WP:NACTOR). Ravensfire (talk) 16:40, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note - removed the clickbait source as it patently fails WP:RS. Ravensfire (talk) 16:43, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - If this article is kept, the title should be moved to "Bilal (rapper)" because that is his stage name. The article creator may have been confused by other stuff already at Bilal. Regardless, my vote is to delete because almost all sources on this guy are the typical retail/streaming sites that merely prove his existence, while he has no significant coverage in his own right from reliable sources. He has gotten a little coverage for a feud with a different rapper, as noticed by the nominator, but that doesn't cut it when you haven't been noticed for anything else. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:27, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Ravensfire - I can't find any external coverage that's citable for this guy's existence. I wish him luck with his career, and perhaps one day he'll be worth our attention. Horst.Burkhardt (talk) 11:57, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also the article's subject may be sensational at the moment but he is certainly not important. The article mentions he has 2 million subs on youtube. While that is certainly a decent figure, retaining the article in wikipedia mainspace will also guarantee an article to other non-notable entities with a comparable sub count. Hence i vote for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The alchemist reborn (talkcontribs) 03:53, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
