The result was delete. The only two arguments to keep fail to provide any policy-based reasons and are from users with very limited editing history. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:25, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Vibe article you linked to is four sentences long. Did I miss the rest of it, or are those four sentences intended to establish his "viral" notability on Wikipedia? Magnolia677 (talk) 23:35, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Sources consist of subject talking about himself; database listings (such as MTV.com); and sites that post videos with promotional text. It lacks independent, third party coverage that would convey notability. Arguments to keep based on the subjects collaborations are not backed up with significant coverage, apparently claiming notability by association.
