Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. Unable to locate reliable secondary sources to support notability. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:17, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - notable artist, has many songs charted in many different countries. Many reliable sources can be located on search engines. - TheMagnificentist

Such as? I noticed this interview where they are talking about an album or an EP. Nothing yet, though. This is all WP:TOOSOON in my book. Karst (talk) 10:07, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What matters is that it is a reliable secondary source and here's few more 1 2 3 4. It also meets the WP:MUSICBIO criteria #2 by having at least one single on a national music chart. There's nothing wrong if they're collaborations because the policy didn't say anything specifically about it. - TheMagnificentist 11:19, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When there are only two charting singles and these are collaborations, it is stretching the criteria to the limit. Especially if one single only reached the lower echelons of the Belgian Dance Chart. The sources are a start, but I would not call them substantial. I'm afraid that is an indication of it all being too soon. If there had been an album of some sort, then I would have said a weak keep. 'Looking at discogs.com all I see is an EP and a string of digital singles, mostly collaborations pushed by Spinnin', no doubt. Karst (talk) 11:33, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@TheMagnificentist: Please note (again) that interviews are not secondary sources. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:39, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
