No sources. (not counting an improperly formatted link to what appears to be a biography on a non English website). A google search doesn't show him to be notable. Even if he was, current article is a totally unusable promo/resume, should be deleted and recreated when and if someone digs up sources to pass GNG or NARTIST Hydromania (talk) 07:12, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I've gone ahead and reverted to original page subject as noted below. I don't think original subject passes GNG or NARTIST either, although article is at least readable.Hydromania (talk) 00:04, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Incredibly poorly written article, which runs afoul of WP:PROMOTION and is generally a mess. No references. The external link to the "official website" leads to an Instagram page. Non-notable subject. The page is extra confusing as it was initially written about a different, French, rapper with the same name [1] (who wouldn't have passed WP:GNG either) and some sections from that version of the article survive to the current version. The 9 September edit which changes the rapper this article is about with a different one might also constitute vandalism. [2] In any case, strong delete or, at the very least, reversion to the version about the French rapper if anybody thinks that has some merit, but I doubt it.

The longer and better French Wikipedia article looks as if it has reliable sources coverage such as Paris Match and if that coverage backs up hit records with gold status then he would pass WP:NMUSIC criteria 2, will look into it tomorrow, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 23:18, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep sorry for the delay, have looked at the French Wikipedia article and he definitely passes criteria 2 of WP:NMUSIC with nationally charting releases, as shown in this reference of the official French charts which shows 14 charting releases including a number 1 hit with his solo album Delinquent shown here. The french article has additional sources here, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 20:27, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
