Accordng to WP:SINGER this article has reliable sources in the form of various interviews for magazines and websites. As well as a review of the artist's released album, singles and video clips. As for all other criteria, Gin is a beginner artist (as a rapper) who has no awards and no place on the chart yet, but there is one released album, singles and video clips, as well as independent interviews, which sometimes is not found in other articles about artists. With all due respect. Felix Montana (talk) 17:42, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews of the sort that are the references here do not show notability, for the subject can say essentially what he pleases, therefore he fails WP:MUSICBIO. Ceethekreator (talk) 18:10, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Certainly fails GNG and no indication of meeting any critieria of WP:NMUSICIAN. @Felix Montana:, if she is a "beginner artist", then it is simply WP:TOOSOON. Wikipedia is not in the business of creating coverage. Triptothecottage (talk) 10:04, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Contrary to assessment by Felix Montana, RS are lacking. 16 of the 25 references are from urbanvault and hiphop4real, websites that solicit content on the promise of promotion [1]. VoyageLA is a user submitted site: [2]. (Considering this subject is a self-identified veteran of the music promotion industry, it is no surprise she knows where to go to "create" coverage.) Other sources are blogs and user downloads. The only one that seemingly passes independent muster is Infusion [3], but this particular coverage is meager and promotional, and simply not enough to merit encyclopedic importance.

Delete fails GNG. I couldn't find any reliable sources on Google.Ahmedelcunbal (talk) 16:26, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
