Promotional borderline G11 eligible article on a non notable rapper who doesn’t meet any criterion from WP:MUSICBIO and in general sorely lack in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of him thus a major GNG fail as well. Celestina007 (talk) 17:11, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article shouldn't be deleted as Slimka meets the second notability requirement, he had an album on the Swiss Hitparade (main musics sales chart in Swizterland) in the top 50 (twice.) https://hitparade.ch/song/Slimka-feat.-Makala-&-Varnish-La-Piscine/Dynastie-1830849 Kamikaze0617 (talk) 13:06, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment — Pardon me, I think overall the fundamental problem is failure to understand this portion of WP:NM which states “...meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. I am afraid a single criterion met which isn’t an SNG wouldn’t triumph over WP:GNG. If you can show me any two reliable sources not even WP:THREE, just two that discuses the subject of our discussion with in-depth significant coverage I’d be more than satisfied because a google before literally shows me nothing cogent.

Keep - Coverage looks to be mostly in French (not surprising for a Swiss rapper). Radio Télévision Suisse article, 20 Minuten article, Mouv' article are three articles of many found through a google news search. -- Whpq (talk) 03:06, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
