Fails WP:MUSICBIO. While certainly written very badly, that could be fixed. What can't be fixed is the lack of notability. I could find nothing in English on the dude, and the article doesn't make enough claims that make me believe hes notable. The rough machine translation of the Thai articles also does not support notability. Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 08:26, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While each Wikipedia language edition has different notability criteria, I am usually a bit hesitant to delete articles that have already been accepted on non-English language editions. Being from a non-English-speaking part of the world, naturally the article subject would not have that much web content in English, or even on the web, but they could in fact be notable in local social media. Oftentimes, these local artists may actually be of genuine notability to people from that country who actually know about the niche. — Sagotreespirit (^talk) 17:53, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The first and fourth references currently in the article are in-depth coverage in an established newspaper and a TV talk show. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:42, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article already has 4 references. Here is Google News search [1]. Note that only sites recognized as news by Google are included here. --Lerdsuwa (talk) 16:53, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have added some national awards that he won. His song Mun Tong Thon was one of the most popular songs in Thailand at that time. --Lerdsuwa (talk) 17:12, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per the sources assessment by Paul O12 and the fact that he has had hit music releases which is a pass of WP:NMUSIC criteria2, also the article is under active improvement so there is now no valid reason for deletion, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:08, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
