Promotional article, possibly UPE, incidental mentions in scant coverage. He runs a tattoo parlour, but fails WP:GNG; WP:SINGER. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:16, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, Africa, and United States of America. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:16, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- Don't Delete:I humbly disagree with this tag. I argue that the artist does meet WP:SINGER notability. you have tagged this under topics of Africa, which is incorrect. It is a Caribbeantopic and independent Caribbean references must be fairly assessed. Please help improve, rather than delete. Happy to provide you with further independent.

- Delete No charted singles, not notable as a singer. Promotional article. Oaktree b (talk) 12:14, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- Incorrect. His record label Street Platinum Records does in fact, have charted singles "Holding On" by Tommy Lee Sparta was produced by Negus Nurse as referenced here https://dancehallarena.com/tommy-lee-sparta-holding-on/ and in the song itself. Capture2015 (talk) 13:29, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- A producer on a song usually isn't notable unless they win an award of some sort. Oaktree b (talk) 19:59, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- WP:GNG literally says "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity—although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below." but rather it needs to be assessed against verifiable, reliable and independent sources. So could you rather help improve the article instead of deleting it. Remove and or rephrase material which you think is appears promotional, so that it is more neutral. In other words, help out!
